Logger levels not working?

Configuration
1

I have set the following in configuration.yaml

logger:
  default: critical
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.sensor: error
    homeassistant.components.mqtt: error

yet the logfile is flooded with messages like this:

020-10-02 09:24:07 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt] Received message on ...
2020-10-02 09:24:32 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Updating  ....

I thought I wasn’t supposed to see those according to the loglevels found here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/logger/

What am I missing?

Please, don’t hold back in telling me I’m doing something stupid.

Did you restart HA after changing the log level ?

:slightly_smiling_face: I did. Several times even.

I don’t see anything wrong with your config. Check setting it at runtime using logger.set_level as described in the docs and see if that helps, or perhaps provides additional logging to understand what’s going on.

I’ve noticed a similar problem after fiddling with the logs recently. Even after removing the logger: section entirely from the yaml (and rebooting, several times), my logs are still flooded with debug messages. I’m still at the beginning of trying to figure this out but wanted to post here in case there are any updates.

EDIT: I’m running the container, removing and rebuilding it got the default logs working again where restarting (either via the HA UI or docker restart) didn’t before. I also tried deleting my home-assistant_v2.db file before recreating the container, not sure if that was necessary or not.

Unfortunately no.

or perhaps provides additional logging to understand what’s going on.

What logging would you like to see ? there are no errors or anything logged as far5 as I van see.

I have been having this problem for months and months… it seems that if at any time ive added a specific logging level to track something and then remove that config, it just stays at that level. So if my default level is ‘warning’, and i set a zha level to debug, and then i remove the zha setting, zha will stay at debug unless i explicitly set it to warning. My logs are FILLED with zigbee debug logs.

It doesn’t work.

I’ve got this:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.androidtv_remote: critical

But I’m getting spammed in the logs by this. So much so it’s easier to just delete the device.
