Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-16:
-----------------------------------
Although Markers are part of 2.0-alpha1 I'm leaving this open in case someone
wants to implement one of the other techniques mentioned.
> Provide support for SLF4J type Markers

> Key: LOG4J2-16
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-16
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
>
> We wrote our own logging framework primarily because log4j didn't provide
> some of the features we needed. One feature was more granularity, especially
> around logging. We encourage entry and exit tracing, logging of input and
> output data, logging of elapsed time statistics and several other flavors if
> "debug" information. Turning all this on in production generates too much
> data. Our framework supported the concept of Log Type in addition to Log
> Level. When filtering there was a LogType array where each array element was
> the log level. The LogRecord contained the LogType and LogLevel so doing
> filtering was very fast.
> SLF4J supports Markers. These can essentially be used for the same purpose
> (assuming another Jira issue regarding filtering is implemented). Markers are
> much more flexible since they can be arbitrarily created. Loggers should then
> be able to filter on whether a marker is present in addition to the LogLevel.
