[log4perl-devel] How to alter threshold for appender on a per-logger basis at runtime

[Enzer, M. B. S. <mat...@ba...>]

I have a logger with two appenders; Screen and File. Initially both
appenders have a threshold of DEBUG.  I'd like to change the threshold
of the Screen appender (just for this logger object) to WARN, at run
time. Something like this:

my $logger =3D Log::Log4perl->get_logger($category);
$logger->warn("connecting to insecure server");  #  logged by both
Screen and File appenders
.
.
.
$logger->new_threshold('Screen',$WARN);
$logger->info("Receiving data from $server_name");  # logged only by
File appender
$logger->warn("Disconnecting from $server_name"); # Logged by Screen and
File appenders.


Is that reasonable? Do-able?
