we have a spring-boot maven project. It has 4 modules, each with their own pom files, and of course the parent pom file.

Currently, without setting it anywhere, the level is DEBUG.

Firstly, I want to figure out how to change this for local dev.

If I add:

logging.level.root: INFO

to one of the modules: mymodule1/src/main/resources/application.yml

It doesn’t change. If I add this line to all 4 modules, it seems to work.

Is there a way I only need to change it in one place? There doesnt seem to be a parent application.yml.

E.g. is there a way to override log level for everything, e.g. command line or env var?

I dont know what version of spring-boot we are using, but in the pom it says:

    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.3.RELEASE</version>
