Logs, Update of an item

[CirruZZ (Anders)]

• Platform information:
  • Hardware: RPi4
  • OS: openhabian latest
  • openHAB version: 4.0.1

Looking at the logg I can se that an update of an item generate two rows.

2023-08-13 10:15:35.387 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent ] - Item 'Dishwasher_Energy' updated to 1.84541007 kWh
2023-08-13 10:15:35.390 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent ] - Item 'Dishwasher_Energy' changed from 1.83986468 kWh to 1.84541007 kWh

One row that it has updated and one that tells from what value/state.
This seems a bit unnecessary, I would be happy with only one.

Is there any way I can change this, to only logg one row on an update an item?

Probably the same problem as in this post:

Openhab 4.0.1 and ipcamera

During the upgrade process you kept your log4j2.xml config instead of accepting the new default one. There are two new lines: <Logger level="ERROR" name="openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent"/> <Logger level="ERROR" name="openhab.event.GroupStateUpdatedEvent"/> Note that this has nothing to do with any binding. events.log shows the events on the event bus and is not directly driven by any binding.

Thanks! Adding those two lines to log4j2.xml did the trick!

<Logger level="ERROR" name="openhab.event.ItemStateUpdatedEvent"/> 
<Logger level="ERROR" name="openhab.event.GroupStateUpdatedEvent"/>
