[logback-user] Separate log within same application

[John Smith]

Thanks. That seems easy.

When you say "You would want to make sure that ALL logging is turned on for
the security logger at all times" are you just saying the log level of
"securityLogger" is set to the same in the config? ie:

<logger name="securityLogger" level="INFO">
...
securtyLogger.info("...");
