Paul Nyheim updated LBCORE-73:
------------------------------

    Attachment: consolePlugin-silentMode.patch

Patch made against the Release 0.9.11 tag.
Adds silent attribute to <consolePlugin /> so that socketappender does not print ConnectException when no server is listening on server:port

> For my JUnit tests, I have configured a logback-test.xml file with only a <consolePlugin/> entry. (debug=false) 
> However, when I run the tests on the build-server, I get the following printed to System.out:
> 09:02:23,596 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SocketAppender[null] - Could not connect to remote logback server at [localhost]. We will try again later.
> java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
>        at java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
>        at      at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
>        at      at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333)
>        at      at
> java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195)
> I realize that this message is part of logbacks internal status, however it would be nice to have the option to disable this message which pollutes the build-log on the build-server. Maybe by specifying an attribute like this: <consolePlugin silent="true"/> where the underlying Socketappender will be silent if it is not able to connect to the host and port.
> I'll see if I can upload a patch later today.
