Mikael, I think your main problem here is that you cannot put the same logger name ="xxx" and have that xxx be the same string, to be able to seperate by logging level. I think your only way would be to have multiple appenders that each have their own log file that are by log level.
This is the way to log org (3rd party) to Error for MAIN_LOG and INFO to DEBUG LEVEL: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <!-- A time/date based rolling appender --> <appender name="MAIN_LOG" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler" /> <param name="File" value="logs/main.log" /> <param name="Append" value="false" /> <param name="Threshold" value="ERROR" /> <!-- Rollover at midnight each day --> <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n --> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <!-- A time/date based rolling appender --> <appender name="DEBUG_LOG" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler" /> <param name="File" value="logs/debug.log" /> <param name="Append" value="false" /> <param name="Threshold" value="INFO" /> <!-- Rollover at midnight each day --> <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n --> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n" /> </layout> </appender> <!-- <logger name="com.mycompany"> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="DEBUG_LOG" /> <appender-ref ref="MAIN_LOG" /> </logger> <logger name="com.othercompany"> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="DEBUG_LOG" /> <appender-ref ref="MAIN_LOG" /> </logger> --> <logger name="org"> <appender-ref ref="MAIN_LOG" /> <appender-ref ref="DEBUG_LOG" /> </logger> <root> </root> </log4j:configuration> -Jim ----- Original Message ---- From: Mikael Ståldal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 7:00:36 AM Subject: Different levels to different appenders I have two appenders, MAIN_LOG and DEBUG_LOG. I have the loggers set up to match Java class hierarchy as recommended. I have two interesting codebases, "com.mycompany" and "com.othercompany". I want to send DEBUG and higher from "com.mycompany" and WARN and higher from "com.othercompany" to MAIN_LOG. And I want to send DEBUG and higher from "com.mycompany" and DEBUG and higher from "com.othercompany" to DEBUG_LOG. Finally I want to handle stuff outside "com.mycompany" or "com.othercompany" (such as "org.thirdparty") by sending ERROR and higher to MAIN_LOG and INFO and higher to DEBUG_LOG. How do I accomplish that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
