+## Log-File
+
 The name of the logfile is ammos.log The logger uses the directory
 stored in the AMMOS_LOG_DIR environment variable. If this variable is
-not set, /tmp is used as default. If the logfile is not writable, the
-standard logger config is used and the logs go directly to console
-(tty). (see ammos_logging.conf file in this repository)
+not set, /tmp is used as default. This might change to *var/log* in
+future versions running under GUIX system. If the logfile is not
+writable, the standard logger config is used and the logs go directly to
+console (tty). (see ammos_logging.conf file in this repository)
+
+## Log-Level
+
+You can change the log-Level by setting the environment variable
+AMMOS_LOG_LEVEL. To turn off logging completely set the level to
+'CRITICAL'
+
+``` shell
+export AMMOS_LOG_LEVEL=CRITICAL
+```
+
+If the environment variable does not exist, the logging level from
+ammos_logging.conf is used.
