How is LOGLEVEL set right now, do you any specific setting for LOGLEVEL as off now?

You can set LOGLEVEL for all the users by setting LOGLEVEL session variable to '0' using an Init Block and query as simple as

Select '0' from dual;

and assign the output of this query to LOGLEVEL session variable,setting log level through session variable overrides user specific log level.

You can find more information on LOGLEVEL in below blog

WHY?! Why would you EVER want to do that @3295595 ? What could this possibly bring you?

We have server utilization issues and management didnt approve the hardware upgrade. So we need to reduce the usage of servers in all possible aspects.. Can you please suggest some idesas.

Changing the log level to 0 will only use a bit less disk, the space the log file took.

Logging adding performance issues is a myth ...

The load on your system highly depends on what your users does, the kind of model you have (if all the possible logic is pushed down to the database vs. having the BI server doing the job) etc.

If you have issues and the management refused an hardware upgrade on an almost 10 years old software .... at some point it will just die, that's the normal natural destiny ...

(Because over all these years usage and data changed, so the management can't expect the system to keep working like when it has been setup)

Tell your management about cloud, no need to care about hardware anymore

Actually we have a migration plan running for 12c. That is why no more cost on old hardware.

Turning off logging will have exactly zero effect on performance apart from saving some megabyte disk space.

Whoever told you that would increase performance...well let's just say he was wrong.

Reducing logging to zero has only the effect of taking away any means of any troubleshooting. You'd basically be flying blind with your hands tied behind your back.
