Remove DEBUG-level default logging from actions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In 2bb31fe (v0.6.0!) we added DEBUG-level logging to the default config of
action loggers "for easier debugging". This change to the default config lives
on to this day. It does not obviously make debugging any easier any more, but
it does result in a good deal of log noise sometimes. This commit removes this
special case from the default config.

Closes elastic#51198

==== Loggers under `org.elasticsearch.action` now log at `INFO` level by default

The default log level for most loggers is `INFO`, but in earlier versions
loggers in the `org.elasticsearch.action.*` hierarchy emitted log messages at
`DEBUG` level by default. This sometimes resulted in a good deal of unnecessary
log noise. From 7.7 onwards the default log level for logger in this hierarchy
is now `INFO`, in line with most other loggers. If needed, you can recover the
pre-7.7 default behaviour by adjusting your <<logging>>.
