[slf4j-user] Configuration properties within logger context

[Daniel Felix Ferber]

Hi all,

I was wondering about slf4j being able to get properties defined within the
configuration file form the logger framework (eg logback or log4j). Would that
be a reasonable use for slf4j? 

1) I would configure the granularity (amount of content) of a log message that
reports the result of a long-running execution.

2) Also, I would configure the number of step between two log messages on a
long-running task. 

For the first case, I could define several loggers (a simple one, a detailed
one). I don't think I should use two levels, since the report cannot be
considered 'info', not 'debug' or 'trace'.

For the second case, I am not sure how to handle it. Currently the application
has a configuration property that defines how log will behave (number of steps,
amount of details). But taking it rigorously, these are not application
configuration, but logger configuration.

Best regards,
