How to set netty log level on selected spring boot Webclient instances - spring-boot

Question

We have 2 different instances of spring boot Webclients. We want one of them to log all requests/responses and the other to log nothing. Settiing:
logging.level.reactor.netty.http.client=debug
in the application.properties file causes both instances to log requests/responses. Is there a way to programmatically set the log level on one of the instances to log debug levels and the other to not?
We create the first webclient like this:
WebClient.create();
For this one we don't want debug logging.
The second one, for which we want logging, we create like this:
return WebClient.builder()
.clientConnector(createWebClientWithTimeout())
// Add base url to all requests (callers only need to add the path and query params)
.baseUrl(baseUrl)
// Increase the buffer size from 256K to 1M
.codecs(configurer -> configurer
.defaultCodecs()
.maxInMemorySize(1024 * 1024))
// Filter to add bearer token to auth header before sending request
.filter((request, next) -> getToken(custId).map(setAuthHeader(request)).flatMap(next::exchange))
// Filter to send the request, and try again if it has an auth error
.filter((request, next) -> next.exchange(request).flatMap(clientResponse -> {
:::
return Mono.just(clientResponse);
})).build();
and
private ClientHttpConnector createWebClientWithTimeout() {
// create reactor netty HTTP client
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClient.newConnection()
.wiretap("reactor.netty.http.client.HttpClient",
LogLevel.DEBUG, AdvancedByteBufFormat.TEXTUAL)
.compress(true)
.tcpConfiguration(tcpClient -> {
tcpClient = tcpClient.option(ChannelOption.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS, linkedinConnectTimeoutInSeconds * 1000)
.doOnConnected(conn -> conn
.addHandlerLast(new ReadTimeoutHandler(linkedinReadTimeoutInSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
.addHandlerLast(new WriteTimeoutHandler(linkedinWriteTimeoutInSeconds, TimeUnit.SECONDS)));
return tcpClient;
});
// create a client http connector using above http client
return new ReactorClientHttpConnector(httpClient);
}
If we don't set logging.level.reactor.netty.http.client=debug, neither of these webclients log netty debug statements. If we set the debug parameter, both log the requests, the second one also logs request/response headers and bodies.
