I’m using the latest version of the Java client, steps:  
1- Create a search request  
2- Print the search request in JSON format

I want to know how to perform the 2nd step.

I haven’t tried this, but a little googling revealed this possibility: [Log4j 2 Logger | Java Transport Client (deprecated) [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/_log4j_2_logger.html)

Maybe with “debug” level
