+# 📊 Logging Configuration Guide
+
+## Quick Log Level Changes
+
+### Using the Script (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Check current level
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh
+
+# Set to minimal logging (production-like)
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh warn
+
+# Set to normal development logging
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh info
+
+# Set to detailed debugging
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh debug
+```
+
+### Manual Configuration
+Edit `.env` file:
+```bash
+LOG_LEVEL="info"  # Change this value
+```
+
+## Log Levels Explained
+
+| Level | Numeric | What You'll See | Best For |
+|-------|---------|-----------------|----------|
+| `error` | 0 | Only critical errors | Production monitoring |
+| `warn` | 1 | Warnings + errors | Quiet development |
+| `info` | 2 | General operations | **Normal development** ⭐ |
+| `debug` | 3 | Detailed debugging | Troubleshooting issues |
+| `trace` | 4 | Very verbose tracing | Deep debugging |
+
+## What's Been Optimized
+
+### ✅ Reduced Noise
+- **HTTP requests/responses**: Filtered out health checks, static assets
+- **Request bodies**: Hidden by default (security + noise reduction)
+- **Response bodies**: Hidden by default (reduces overwhelming output)
+- **Session checks**: Frequent `/api/auth/session` calls ignored
+
+### ✅ Cleaner Output
+- **Pretty formatting**: Colored, timestamped logs in development
+- **Message focus**: Emphasizes actual log messages over metadata
+- **Structured data**: Still available but not overwhelming
+
+### ✅ Security Enhanced
+- **Sensitive data**: Automatically redacted (tokens, passwords, etc.)
+- **Production ready**: No debug info exposed to customers
+
+## Common Scenarios
+
+### 🔇 Too Much Noise?
+```bash
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh warn
+```
+
+### 🐛 Debugging Issues?
+```bash
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh debug
+```
+
+### 🚀 Normal Development?
+```bash
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh info
+```
+
+### 📊 Production Monitoring?
+```bash
+./scripts/set-log-level.sh error
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Core logging
+LOG_LEVEL="info"                    # Main log level
+DISABLE_HTTP_LOGGING="false"        # Set to "true" to disable HTTP logs entirely
+
+# Application context
+APP_NAME="customer-portal-bff"      # Service name in logs
+NODE_ENV="development"              # Affects log formatting
+```
+
+## Restart Required
+
+After changing log levels, restart your development server:
+```bash
+# Stop current server (Ctrl+C)
+# Then restart
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+The new log level will take effect immediately.
