• Make sure you have a Spring Boot application running which exposes the actuator log endpoint, e.g locahost:8080/actuator/loggers

• Open the plugin and enter hostname plus port, e.g localhost:8080 and hit return

• If all went well, a list of loggers are now displayed

• Double click on a logger to open the update dialogue. Enter the desired new log level and press on the OK button
