> In our application we use a sifting file appender to log bot requests to a different log file than normal user requests. We have several sensor and aggregation threads that are started on different times that also have some logging output.
> My Problem:
> Log statements from request-independent threads are posted to bot.log and main.log on random. 
> My Solution:
> I patched the LogbackMDCAdapter to be configureable by a system variable, to disable inheritance of the thread local member "copyOnInheritThreadLocal".
> The patched version defaults to old behavior, so it doesn't change if you do not configure it.
> To disable inheritance of that member, just pass "logback.threadlocal.inherit.copy=false" to the JVM.
> I applied the patch to Version 0.9.28 and tested it with our application. Maybe other logback users also want to configure logback in that way.
