Grails How to change logging level in runtime | Grails Set Log Level for Grails

Need to create a util class at first as below:

package com.log4j

import grails.util.Holders
import org.apache.log4j.Category
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

/**
 * Created by pritom on 17/10/2017.
 */
class UtilsBase {
    protected static Logger log

    static void setLogLevel() {
        Level level = Holders.config?.myconfig?.log4j?.logLevel ?: Level.ERROR
        println("SETTING-LOG-LEVEL=${level}")
        Enumeration allLoggers = log.getLoggerRepository().getCurrentCategories()
        log.setLevel(level)
        while (allLoggers.hasMoreElements()) {
            Category category = (Category) allLoggers.nextElement()
            category.setLevel(level)
        }
    }

    static {
        println("Log-enabled-for-${this.class.simpleName}")
        log = Logger.getLogger(this.class)
    }
}

Need to do something in Config.groovy as below:

myconfig {
    log4j {
        /* Here you can define your LOG level */
        logLevel = Level.INFO
    }
}

// log4j configuration
// log4j configuration
log4j.main = {
    def pattern = new PatternLayout("%d{yyyy-MM-dd//HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %x %-5p %c{2} - %m%n")

    appenders {
        console name: "stdout", layout: pattern
    }

    error   'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet',        // controllers
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages',          // GSP
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh',       // layouts
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.filter', // URL mapping
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping',        // URL mapping
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons',            // core / classloading
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins',            // plugins
            'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.orm.hibernate',      // hibernate integration
            'org.springframework',
            'org.hibernate',
            'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate',
            'com.log4j'

    debug   'com.log4j'

    warn    'org.springframework',
            'org.hibernate',
            'grails.plugins.springsecurity',
            'groovyx.net.http',
            'com.log4j'

    all     'grails.app'
}

Now you have to set log level fro BootStrap.goovy as below

import com.log4j.UtilsBase

class BootStrap {

    def init = { servletContext ->
        UtilsBase.setLogLevel()
    }
    def destroy = {

    }
}

And finally start loggin

package com.log4j

class Log4jController extends UtilsBase {
    def index() {
        log.info("Info")
        log.warn("Warn")
        log.error("Error")
        render ""
    }
}

Will output as below:

2017-10-17//16:16:15.512 [http-bio-8808-exec-4]  INFO  log4j.Log4jController - Info
2017-10-17//16:16:15.515 [http-bio-8808-exec-4]  WARN  log4j.Log4jController - Warn
2017-10-17//16:16:15.515 [http-bio-8808-exec-4]  ERROR log4j.Log4jController - Error
