Hi, I am new to Logback, and actually I am a Core Python Dev. I want to implement mongodb logging in logback, and all existing solutions (even one included in logback extra) does not handle connection problem gracefully. There for implementing such features, I am trying to find - 1. How the config that is defined in logback.xml (or logback-test) is accessed in my appender. 2. Will I be able to define my own configs or do i have to stick to given configs. 3. When connecting mongodb or inserting, sometimes when server is down, I need to handle it. In case of such failure, I want to store that log in another file or maybe if possible I would like to redirect the message/Log to another appender. How can I do it? I would really appreciate if I get some pointers or help. I tried to search google for these these queries, but couldn't find something easy to understand. :( Thanks, Ravi
