Logging is often an overlooked performance drain on systems requiring high throughput. Here’s a simple change to the default Tomcat logging configuration to implement. It works on all operating systems.
In the file:
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/logging.properties
Change:
.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
to
.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler
