We are running glassfish 2.1; I want to reduce the chattiness of the logging to server.log but cannot find what config file allows me to do this. (I'm assuming this will use log4J syntax.) thanks!

I think the ans need an update in 2018 (after 6 long yrs). The log level option can be viewed by traversing following tabs in left hand side of Glassfish (4.x) Admin Console:

Configuration -> Server Config -> Logger Settings.

Then select: 'Logger Levels'.

Note:

Different Log Levels in order are:

SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST.

where SEVERE is least detailed and FINEST is most detailed.
