Kettle 4.1.0 (FTP) Job Logging

[por]

Hi everyone,

I've just upgraded to 4.1.0 (from 3.2.0) and bumped into a problem I can't get over.

We've been running Kettle jobs as Cron tasks for quite a while. From the beginning, the problem has been that regardless of -level parameter, Kettle has always printed "Using "/tmp/vfs_cache" as temporary files store." into the console. That has been worked around with simple "/path/to/Kettle -... | tail -n +2".

But now after the update, we get the following:

pentaho@host:~$ /opt/pentaho-data-integration/kitchen.sh -rep="Kettle Repository" -user=**** -pass=**** -dir="x" -job="Logging Test" -level=Nothing
INFO  10-01 17:05:00,355 - Using "/tmp/vfs_cache" as temporary files store.
INFO  10-01 17:05:00,882 - RepositoriesMeta - Reading repositories XML file: /home/pentaho/.kettle/repositories.xml
INFO  10-01 17:05:02,170 - Using PDIFTPClient override for exists() fix.
INFO  10-01 17:05:02,406 - Started FTP job to ftp.host.tld
pentaho@host:~$

To me it seems that FTP job entries do not honor the given logging level. Am I missing something or how can this be fixed?

Thank you!

Additionally, /opt/pentaho-data-integration/kitchen.sh -rep="Kettle Repository" -user=**** -pass=**** -level=Error -dir="/JobFolder" -job="Update and Transfer Stuff to Party" | tail -n +3 results in two-line mail sent by cron:

INFO  11-01 16:08:04,275 - Using PDIFTPClient override for exists() fix.
INFO  11-01 16:08:14,598 - Using PDIFTPClient override for exists() fix.

Unexpected result...
