Default behaviour with no config -------------------------------- Key: LBGENERAL-40 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBGENERAL-40 Project: logback-general Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.9.14 Reporter: Paul Murray Assignee: Logback dev list One of our developers put logback in our project and didn't add a config file. This has killed our prod server for a week - 2 gig of hibernate debug messages per day, until I worked out WTF. Log4j handles this situation by emitting a single message and producing no more output. This is a pain in the butt in development - because you always have to put a log4j config somewhere while coding - but now I understand why: it's built to be usable safely in a production environment. I think you should consider altering the logback default behaviour to do what log4j does. Without that, it's a nervous business staging it on an internet-facing server. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
