## Overview

testinium-appium2-driver library uses **SLF4J (@Slf4j)** for logging.

This means:

- The library **does not decide how logs are handled**
- Logs are managed by the **logging framework used in the test project**
- The active backend determines behavior:
  - **Log4j**
  - **Logback**

## Enabling / Disabling Library Logs

Library logs can be controlled using **Command Parameters**.

### UI Configuration

In **Set System Parameters**:

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/RP8RoPxhAp8jZDWs8V_wZ/xhZwO1LKXOs3_2k87WEUc_image.png" size="80" width="1390" height="394" position="center" darkWidth="1390" darkHeight="394" showCaption="false"}

If your test project uses **Log4j**, add the following to log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.com.testinium=OFF
log4j.additivity.com.testinium=false

The value will depend on whether or not it requests the logs.
