[logback-user] Dumping a CyclicBuffer

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello,

Thank you for the attached files showing what you have come up with.

While the dump trigger is clear (a log statement of level error or
whatever the triggering threshold is), I don't see a "start
accumulation" trigger.

If I understand correctly, during the dump all events currently in the
cyclic buffer will be dumped. If the buffer size is large, then all
events up to the previous error will be dumped. If the buffer size is
small, too few events may be dumped. Hence my question about the
"start accumulation" trigger.

Cheers,
