Hey folks,

A quick question: I’ve set the logging level so that I can see `@debug` messages from my package as I develop stuff. However this will naturally also show `@debug` messages from other packages that are called from my code. I don’t want to see these: they clutter my logs with no relevant information to me.  
Is there a way to “filter” log messages? In python you can filter some packages so that they log messages don’t show. Is there a way to only show debug messages from my code and @info/@warn from others?

Thank you

The “JULIA\_DEBUG” environment variable allows you pick modules you wish to display debug info from. For example, if you are working from the `Main` module, you can enable `@debug` logs specifically for `Main` like so:

```julia
ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = Main

```
