Hi George,

From what could gather, you want to set an evaluaor[1] not a filter. You should remove have the enclosing filter element as shown below:

<appender name="ALARM"
          class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">

  <evaluator class="ch.qos.logback.classic.boolex.JaninoEventEvaluator">
   ..
  </evaluator>
</appender>

HTH,

Good afternoon.

I have a situation where I need to log information to 2 separate files,
but under different conditions, for the same context/class files.

Basically, I have 2 files: 1 log, 1 alarm_log.

I need to set the level for reporting to INFO, but only log WARN/ERROR
messages to alarm_log when a MDC value of “SEND_ALARM” is set.  I have
tried to place a <filter> of type
“ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter” and cannot seem to get it
to work, messages of Level INFO show-up in the alarm_log.

Can this even be done (maybe I am just using it wrong)?  Here is the
section of my logback.xml file specifying the appender:

     <appender name="ALARM"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">

         <filter class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter">

             <evaluator>

                 <expression>

                     if (mdc == null || mdc.get("SEND_ALARM") == null)

                         return false;

                      return true;

                 </expression>

             </evaluator>

         </filter>

         <file>logs/alarms.log</file>

         <rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">

             <!-- daily rollover -->

             
<fileNamePattern>logs/archive/logFile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>

             <!-- keep 30 days' worth of history -->

             <maxHistory>30</maxHistory>

         </rollingPolicy>

         <encoder>

             <pattern>%date{MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss} %-5level %msg%n</pattern>

         </encoder>

     </appender>

Thanks.
