[logback-user] Different Log Levels For Different Appenders?

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Eric,

I think this is described in chapter 3 of the manual. See "Example 3.9: Logger 
level sample (logback-examples/src/main/java/chapter3/sample4.xml)". The list 
numbering in that chapter only works with Firefox. So on other browsers you 
might see all examples numbered as "3.". See also the next section in the same 
chapter, on "Configuring Appenders", in particular, the cumulative addition of 
appenders. It might be the other "cleaner" way, you are looking for.

HTH,
