Description
I have observed erchef filling up logs upon inspection they appear to be largely INFO messages. I searched for a way to change the log level but did not find anything there. Is there something I am missing? I can set various log rotation settings via: https://github.com/chef/chef-server/blob/master/omnibus/files/private-chef-cookbooks/private-chef/attributes/default.rb#L242-L245

Research direction
Start with omnibus/files/private-chef-cookbooks/private-chef/attributes/default.rb around lines 242–245, then inspect how erchef logging and rotation settings are consumed. Done means identifying whether component-level LOG_LEVEL and rotation can be configured and documenting or implementing the supported configuration path.
