http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40784 Summary: Level per user Product: Log4j Version: 1.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Other AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Log4j 1.2, there is not a way to specified a level for a specified user. Use case: I have a web application and I want to keep the log level to info or error and just set to debug for a single user. I know with MDC i'm able to track the username and i know there is a MDCFilter in order to filter the log that matches the filter. What I can do is to set to ALL the global level and then in the filter, to log only the record of the user/s I want. I think there is a big drawback in this approach. Basically my log calls are done checking first of all if the level is enable (code guard): if (log.isDebugEnable()) { log.debug(....); } in order to avoid the parameter evaluation if debug is disabled. Using MDCFilter all calls will be evaluated with a potentially big impact on the performance because the filters are evaluated when the log message is sent to the appenders. My idea is to add to each logger a level selector. Like for the appenders, log4j could provide some implementations as LoggerLevelSelector (this should return the level of the logger (maybe not needed)) or UserLevelSelector or MDCLevelSelector. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
