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

[Eric Faden]

That doesn't exactly solve what I am trying to do.  The problem isn't 
that I can't get the correct level on a specific logger, the problem is 
more that I want to have a specific logger go to two different appenders 
and log at different levels based on the appender.  For example I want 
to have the root logger log at level INFO to the Console.  I then want 
to have the logger for some class Blah log to the appender for root 
(Console) at the level of root (INFO), but also log to a file Foo.txt at 
level Debug.  So far as I can tell the only way to do this is to set the 
level of Blah to debug, have a file appender, and also put a filter on 
the console appender to filter out things below INFO.  Does that make 
sense what I am trying to do?  Basically I want a single logger to log 
to different levels to different appenders.
