Suppress exception in Wildfly log

Question

I want some Exceptions to not appear in the server's console log.

I tried to set a filter in standalone.xml but the exception still shows up.

<console-handler name="CONSOLE">
   <level name="INFO"/>
   <filter-spec value="not(match(&quot;.*java.lang.RuntimeException.*&quot;))" />
   <formatter>
         <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN"/>
   </formatter>
 </console-handler>

What am I missing?

Unfortunately at this point messages cannot be filtered by the exception. Only the message being logged can be filtered. There is a JIRA to create an exception filter.

If you just don't want to see exceptions on the console you could remove the %e or %E from the format pattern and then only look for exceptions in the server.log.
