Is there a way to log queries on Neo4J like Hibernate? - nosql

Question

So, here is the scenario:
I have Neo4J server running locally with some data in it
I have a web app using spring-data-neo4j
The following code is based on the example code Cineasts:
public interface CrewRepository extends GraphRepository<Crew> {
Iterable<Crew> findByNameLike(String name);
#Query("start thinker=node({0}) match thinker-[:crews]-crews return crews")
Set<Crew> findByThinker(Long thinkerId);
}
No news here. The problem is: the query findByNameLike doesn't work whereas the findByThinker does.
I have modified my log configuration file many times - final version is the one below - but, doesn't matter what I try, I can't see any queries being logged - either on my log file or on the server.
<logger name="org.neo4j">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</logger>
<logger name="org.springframework.data.neo4j">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</logger>
<root>
<priority value="error" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>
All I want is the log the queries so I can see if it's a bug on spring-data-neo4j or if I'm missing something... I have looked through the documentation of both, code examples and couldn't find anything that specific.
Any help? Thank you!

Answer 1

You can enable query logging by adding the following lines to your log4j.xml:
<logger name="org.springframework.data.neo4j.support.query">
<level value="debug" />
</logger>

Answer 2

If anyone lands here looking for how to log queries when Neo4j Server is accessed remotely over the REST API, use
<logger name="org.springframework.data.neo4j.rest.SpringRestCypherQueryEngine">
<level value="debug" />
</logger>
If you're using Spring Data Neo4j and want to see the derived queries corresponding to your DAO methods,
<logger name="org.springframework.data.neo4j.repository.query.DerivedCypherRepositoryQuery">
<level value="debug" />
</logger>
