Make a logger to skip the root section in logback
appender, java, logback
Solution
Add an entry in the XML file explicitly for logger Z and with the ALERTS_SYSLOG appender and set the additvity flag to false.
Problem
I have several loggers defined and a root section with several appenders, something like: ``` <logger name="X" level="debug"/> <logger name="Y" level="trace"/> <logger name="Z" level="warn"> <appender-ref ref="ALERTS-SYSLOG" /> </logger> <root level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/> <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> <appender-ref ref="BUFFER"/> <appender-ref ref="SYSLOG"/> </root> ``` What I'm trying to accomplish is for the logger named Z to go only to the ALERTS-SYSLOG appender and not all the ones defined in the root section. Is that possible only with configuration on the XML file?
