Web service logs constantly print out DB session metrics

Looking at the webservice logs for the staging and production sites, a set of lines of the form

INFO [2019-08-23 17:43:34,611]  org.hibernate.engine.internal.StatisticalLoggingSessionEventListener: Session Metrics  { ... }

are constantly being printed out, making it hard to find actual logs. Would be nice to either reduce the frequency of these logs or make them appear as one line so they can be filtered out by regex.

In general, unless I haven’t discovered it or am using it incorrectly, the UI for searching in CloudWatch seems lacking. You can find things, but then you can’t zoom out. E.g., if I look for an error in the logs, I want to see if there are any clues in the logs right before the error.

I think the idea is more that our logs should have all the info available, but it should be easy to control the log level via regex like in this tutorial https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/FilterAndPatternSyntax.html#matching-terms-events

The problem is that these particular logs spread out across multiple lines and thus aren’t easily filterable by regex
