[logback-user] Set Level per Logger AND Appender?

[Ceki Gulcu]

I see. You could attach an evaluator fiter which can filter events based on 
criteria that you decide upon. For example,

<filter class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter">
   <evaluator name="myEval">
     <expression>
       (logger.getName().contains("logger names...") &&  level > INFO)
        ||
        (level > WARN)
      </expression>
   </evaluator>
   <OnMismatch>DENY</OnMismatch>
   <OnMatch>ACCEPT</OnMatch>
</filter>

where "logger names ..." stands for loggers needing special handling.

I am not 100% the above expression is error free but it should at least get my 
point across. In particular, you need to write & as &amp; in an XML file. So 
'&&' would become '&amp;&amp;'.

Does the above help?
