How to reduce the level of console output from Matter Samples

[Tonyll]

The Matter Samples output a verbose level of information to the console as standard. This is a mixture of the application log statements and matter log information. When trying to develop and debug the application's logs are difficult to find in the numerous other lines of data.

How can the Matter logs be stopped of separated from the user logs (LOG_INF etc) to make this process easier. We have a prototype board with no uart and use the segger rtt for debugging. Ideally the rtt output should only receive data from the application log statements

Hi, 

It cannot separate the Matter module or the user application log, but you can turn off the Matter module log by enabling CONFIG_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL_OFF. See Logging level configuration.

For the Segger RTT setting, you can refer to this post.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, that's what I needed.

I'd found that the matter log level was set to 4 in the build but when I tried to override it by setting to zero in the prj conf it gave an error. I didn't manage to find the CONFIG_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL_OFF=y setting

Many thanks for you help

Do you get any error if adding CONFIG_MATTER_LOG_LEVEL_OFF=y in the prj.conf? If so, please provide the error log.

Hi,

No errors, that worked just fine and I have have redirected it to the rtt output.

Happy to close the ticket, many thanks
