Merge pull request #7390 from nebhale/logger-actuator-docs

* pr/7390:
  Add Logger actuator documentation

spring-boot-actuator-docs/src/main/asciidoc/loggers.adoc

+=== /loggers
+This endpoint allows you to view and modify the log levels for the loggers in your
+application.  It builds on top of the `LoggingSystem` abstraction and supports the same
+logging frameworks.  The logging levels are defined by the `LogLevel` enumeration and
+consists of the following values (although not all logging systems support the full set):
+
+* `TRACE`
+* `DEBUG`
+* `INFO`
+* `WARN`
+* `ERROR`
+* `FATAL`
+* `OFF`
+* `null`
+
+The `configuredLevel` property reflects an explicitly configured logger level, while the
+`effectiveLevel` property reflects the logger level inherited from parent loggers. The
+`effectiveLevel` is managed by each logging framework and reflects the propagation rules
+inherent to and configured in that framework.  `null` indicates that there is no explicit
+configuration defined.

+
+==== Configuring a Logger
+Setting the `configuredLevel` of a logger requires `POSTing` a partial payload to the
+resource. The `configuredLevel` property must contain a string representation of the
+enumeration described above.  `null` indicates that the log level should be unset,
+allowing it to inherit configuration from it's parent.

+== Loggers
+Spring Boot Actuator includes the ability to view and configure the log levels of your
+application at runtime.  You can view either the entire list or an individual logger's
+configuration which is made up of both the explictily configured logging level as well as
+the effective logging level given to it by the logging framework.  These levels can be:
+
+* `TRACE`
+* `DEBUG`
+* `INFO`
+* `WARN`
+* `ERROR`
+* `FATAL`
+* `OFF`
+* `null`
+
+with `null` indicating that there is no explict configuration.
+
+
+
+[[production-ready-logger-configuration]]
+=== Configure a Logger
+In order to configure a given logger, you `POST` a partial entity to the resource's URI:
+
+[source,json,indent=0]
+----
+	{
+		"configuredLevel": "DEBUG"
+	}
+----
+
+
+

 == Metrics
 Spring Boot Actuator includes a metrics service with '`gauge`' and '`counter`' support.
