 Because the [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse) Matrix server is originally very chatty when it comes to logging, we intentionally reduce its [logging level](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels) from `INFO` to `WARNING`.
 
-If you'd like to debug an issue or [report a Synapse bug](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/new/choose) to the developers, it'd be better if you temporarily increasing the logging level to `INFO` or even `DEBUG`.

 Example configuration (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`):
 
 ```yaml
-matrix_synapse_log_level: "DEBUG"
-matrix_synapse_storage_sql_log_level: "DEBUG"
-matrix_synapse_root_log_level: "DEBUG"
+matrix_synapse_log_level: "INFO"

+matrix_synapse_root_log_level: "INFO"
 ```
