Hello,

I have a Gateway IO that processes hundreds of devices and processes about a million tags. As a result, I have a lot of logs that clog up memory in minutes, especially modbus.

I limit this by disabling logging of unnecessary Level=Off logs in Log Configuration. When I restart the Gateway everything goes back to default settings.

Is it possible to set logging to only those items in Log Configuration that I want to monitor? It seems to me that handling so many logs and wrapper also affects the load on the Gateway system.

Example view from my test gateway:

You can make log level changes that persist by editing the `data/logback.xml` file.

For each logger you can add an entry like this:

```python
<logger name="com.inductiveautomation.fully.qualified.logger.name" level="OFF" />

```
