RE: range filter?
This is my main issue. If someone, Remko maybe?, has a solution using
composite and threshold please let me know as so far I have been unable to make
it work using those. My next step would be to write my own LevelRangeFilter.
Thanks,

Thanks for clarifying.
My effort to try to get the composite + threshold filter working such that I
can filter a single level so far has failed. Here is my code:
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Level;
public class HelloWorld
{
static Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(HelloWorld.class.getName());
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(Hello, World);
log.info(hello this is an INFO message);
log.warn(hello this is a WARN message);
log.debug(hello this is a DEBUG message);
Level level = Level.getLevel(INFOM1);
if (level == null)
System.out.println(Didn't find level INFOM1);
else
log.log(level, hello this is an INFOM1 message);
level = Level.getLevel(INFOP1);
if (level == null)
System.out.println(Didn't find level INFOP1);
else
log.log(level, hello this is an INFOP1 message);
}
}
Here is my configuration file:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Configuration status=trace verbose=true

NOTE: The custom levels are not being found by the code as I'm seeing my

Any suggestion on how to get filtering of a single level working with the
composite filter + threshold filter?

I apologize, you are correct. The level values do decrease.
Regardless, your point about wanting to filter on essentially a single
integer value makes sense.

If I want just a single level then I would like a way to specify that

someone decides to specify a custom level via configuration or code. The
LevelRangeFilter provides an easy mechanism for me to do this by
specifying the same level for min and max. I guess you're suggesting I
could accomplish this via the composite filter and the threshold filter,
however, I would have to define a custom level that is one less than or
one more than the level I'm looking to capture so that I ensure I'm only
getting that one level. I will try this out, but it would be nice to
have something like the LevelRangeFilter.

No. If the custom level was 1 greater than INFO, then yes. In that case
you would specify your custom level instead of WARN as the level on the
first ThresholdFilter.

I think a LevelRangeFilter is a good idea anyway, so Log4j should provide
one. Writing one is easy, it's docs will take longer to write well.

I've got to say that I use MarkerFilters all the time, but I still need to refresh my brain when I've not used them in a while.

And while I understand those in isolation, I think, I have no idea how the filters composite would handle this. Why are the first three needed? How does the CompositeFilter work? Does it try to match on each filter in the list of stop as soon as it gets a DENY? What if I wanted to setup a filter which just accepted WARN? And on top of that ensure that if anyone defined any custom levels which are maybe just 1 away from WARN in either direction that those don't make it in the appender. How would you do that? How I did this with the log4net LevelRangeFilter was to set the levelMin and levelMax to the same value. Thanks, Nick Subject: Re: range filter?

Re: range filter?
From the manual - This filter returns the onMatch result if the level in the LogEvent is the same or more specific than the configured level and the onMismatch value otherwise.” So if you have Filters ThresholdFilter level=“DEBUG” onMatch=“NEUTRAL” onMisMatch=“DENY” ThresholdFilter level=“WARN” onMatch=“DENY” onMisMatch=“NEUTRAL” Filters Then the first filter should allow Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal through, discarding Trace events. The second filter will deny Warn, Error and Fatal events, allowing Debug and Info to continue to be filtered. If you want them to be unconditionally processed regardless of other filters then set the onMisMatch to ACCEPT. Ralph On Aug 25, 2015, at 4:49 PM, Nicholas Duane nic...@msn.com wrote: Thanks.

Re: range filter?
I should also point out that if you look at the documentation you will see that the default value for onMisMatch is “Deny”. So your first filter tests the log level and no matter what the level is it will discard the event.

RE: range filter?
By the way, let me say that I'm surprisingly delighted by the quickness of responses and level of interest in solving these issues. THANK YOU. I guess after posting a few messages on the log4net mailing list and getting no responses I wasn't too hopeful about getting responses to my log4j questions. I guess there is a big difference in support between the two products? Thanks, Nick Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:37:18 -0700 Subject: Re: range filter? From: garydgreg...@gmail.com To: log4j-user@logging.apache.org Ah, yes, sorry, I had not read it in detail. It would be nice to expand the unit test I just committed with a more complex scenario.

RE: range filter?
Maybe. However, I'm having a hard time following what the configuration is saying and thus have no idea what I would need to put in the configuration. Here is a snippet from that post: !-- Now deny warn, error and fatal messages -- ThresholdFilter level=warn onMatch=DENY onMismatch=NEUTRAL/ ThresholdFilter level=error onMatch=DENY onMismatch=NEUTRAL/ ThresholdFilter level=fatal onMatch=DENY onMismatch=NEUTRAL/ !-- This filter accepts info, warn, error, fatal and denies debug/trace -- ThresholdFilter level=info onMatch=ACCEPT onMismatch=DENY/ The top three seem as if they would deny warn, error and fatal, yet the third says it accepts info, warn, error and fatal. And while I understand those in isolation, I think, I have no idea how the filters composite would handle this. Why are the first three needed? How does the CompositeFilter work? Does it try to match on each filter in the list of stop as soon as it gets a DENY? What if I wanted to setup a filter which just accepted WARN? And on top of that ensure that if anyone defined any custom levels which are maybe just 1 away from WARN in either direction that those don't make it in the appender. How would you do that? How I did this with the log4net LevelRangeFilter was to set the levelMin and levelMax to the same value. Thanks, Nick Subject: Re: range filter?
