[log4perl-devel] Writing to logs with different thresholds

[Robert R. <ro...@gm...>]

I have a collection of related tools that write to a shared log, generally
at the INFO or WARNING level.

One of the tools has a separate log that it writes to at a lower level
(DEBUG or TRACE).  But I still want higher priority messages to show up in
the shared log.

The problem that I am having is that the DEBUG log messages for the tool
also go into the shared log.

I've tried changing the threshold for the shared log to INFO

  log4perl.appender.SharedLog.Treshold = INFO

but the DEBUG messages still get added to it.

I've also tried using a subcategory:

  log4perl.logger.mytool = INFO, SharedLog
  log4perl.logger.mytool.debug = DEBUG, DebugLog

and then using

  $logger = get_logger("mytool.debug");

but still the DEBUG messages show up in the SharedLog.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

If you fix the typo ("Treshold" => "Threshold"), that's exactly the
recommended way to accomplish what you want.

I think I've found the problem.

When I set the threshold of the second appender, it seems to override the
threshold of the root appender.

Not sure what you're referring to here, but if you post your
configuration and explain what you're expecting and what you're getting
instead, I'll take a look.
