How to detect:
Envoy proxy has debug-level logging enabled, generating extremely verbose output that can impact proxy performance and overwhelm logging systems in production environments
Recommended action:
Reset Envoy log level to warning using pilot-agent logging endpoint. Only enable debug logging temporarily for troubleshooting in non-production or for short diagnostic periods. Monitor log volume and proxy resource utilization when debug logging is active.
