[log4perl-devel] Multiple Config files

[Michael O'C. <mi...@ch...>]

Hi,

Wondering if it is possible to init_and_watch multiple configuration
files...?  I've taken a look around at the modules, and it doesn't appear to
be possible...just wanted confirmation.

If it isn't possible, do you think this would be a useful feature?

What I'd like:
I have 600 processes running throughout the day.  At any one time there
could be, say, 100 running at the same time.  I want to be able to have one
central configuration file that is init_and_watch'd by all processes by
default.  In addition, I'd like to have a process-specific config file (also
init_and_watched) that could define the same config setup, overriding the
central config, or new configuration allowing me to log to a new
file/whatever.

What I'm trying to acheive:
If i'm trying to debug one particular process, out of the 100 processes
running, I'd like to be able to modify the process-specific config file, to
increase the debug level, and reap the benefits of init_and_watch.
Obviously I can do this with the central config file, but then all 100 procs
would start logging debug info.

Is this clear?  Any feed back would be much appreciated!

Thanks
