Is it possible to control `@info` logging, per module, like `@debug`. I need to disable info output for a module/package sometimes.

Globally, this will work, of course:

```julia
using Logging

@info "Show this"
disable_logging(Logging.Info)
@info "Don't show this"

```

But it would be really nice if there was a clean way to do this per-module.

I’m not sure I quite understand what you want to achieve. Is this an option for you:

```julia
using Logging

with_logger(Logging.NullLogger()) do
  @info "BLA"
end

```

Instead of `NullLogger()`, you could equivalently create a logger that logs at the level you want.

Sure, it’s doable by creating a custom logger. I was merely wondering if there was a standard, quick and easy way to set different logging levels for different modules/packages used by an application. Creating a custom logger might not be an enticing solution for the average user. 🙂

I’m aware that there a add-on packages like [LoggingExtras.jl](https://github.com/oxinabox/LoggingExtras.jl) and [MicroLogging.jl](https://github.com/c42f/MicroLogging.jl) that offer more control over logging output.
