Description

Currently users are able to dynamically change logging configuration by using nodetool setlogginglevel <class> <level>. Unfortunately this requires to know a bit about the Cassandra package hierarchy and gathering all the involved packages/classes can be tedious, especially in troubleshooting situations. What I'd like to have is a way to tell a user to "when X happens, enable debug logs for bootstrapping/repair/compactions/.." by simply running e.g. nodetool setlogginglevel bootstrap DEBUG.
