Reducing Log Noise from Backoffice in Umbraco

Questions
1

I’m currently developing a project using Umbraco 16.1.1 with Serilog for logging. I’ve noticed a large volume of log entries coming from the Backoffice, particularly under categories such as Umbraco.BackOffice, Umbraco.Cms.Web.BackOffice, etc., which significantly pollutes the log output.

Here’s what I’ve configured in my appsettings.Development.json:

"Serilog": {
  "MinimumLevel": {
    "Default": "Information",
    "Override": {
      "Umbraco.Cms.Web.BackOffice": "Warning",
      "Umbraco.Cms.Core": "Warning",
      "Umbraco.Cms.Infrastructure": "Warning",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "System": "Warning"
    }
  }
}

Despite this, Backoffice logs still appear frequently.

I’m looking for a reliable way to:

Reduce the logging level for Backoffice components to Warning or higher.

Optionally disable these logs entirely during development to reduce log noise.

Is there an official way or recommendation to properly control Backoffice logging levels in Umbraco?
Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Did you restart your application after making the change?
