[logback-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (LBCLASSIC-156) SocketAppender is reporting an WARN if connection could not be established.

Joern Huxhorn commented on LBCLASSIC-156:
-----------------------------------------

Please consider fixing this before the next release.

Either add an option to declare that this message should be handled as an INFO or change it to INFO right away.
The current behavior is really quite annoying.

>          Components: appender
>    Affects Versions: 0.917
>         Environment: java version "1.6.0_15"
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-226)
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-92, mixed mode)

> This is a followup to LBCLASSIC-143 which changed the message from ERROR to WARN.
> The WARN message still results in a dump of the logging status messages.
> This means that a whole bunch of text is printed to the console whenever Lilith is started - and it looks quite broken due to the stacktrace.
> So there are two possible solutions for this problem:
> a) the status is only printed in case of an ERROR
> b) SocketAppender considers this as an INFO instead of a WARN.
> I think b) would be reasonable. Other WARNs are much more important, like duplicate logback.xml.
> Lilith is only an example, btw.
> We routinely add SocketAppender[localhost] to our console applications. In case of trouble one can simply start Lilith and check the logs that way instead of reading them on the console.
> The default use-case is executing the app without Lilith, though, so we get the logback status messages on every start - which is quite noisy and annoying.
