Labels: Logger documentation Priority: Minor Reporter: Jehoschua Description: Good evening I guess you great Doc has for almost every item in {{logback.xml}} a table which explains all properties (Property Name, Type and Description), e.g. here: [FileAppender|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#FileAppender] Unfortunately, the properties for {{<logger>}} are missing, I guess (I have checked each Manual page). And while I'm not sure, I suspect that a {{<logger>}} Name is not just some free text but it affects the logger behaviour. For example, I never get a log entry in this logger: {{<logger name="MyRollingFileLogger" level="TRACE"> <appender-ref ref="RollingFile" /> </logger> }}   If my guess is right that a logger's name affects the logging behavior, it would be great if you could write a note about it, for example here: [Configuring loggers, or the <logger> Element|[http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#loggerElementhttp://example.com|http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#loggerElement]]   Thanks a lot, kind regards, Thomas ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.8.0#808000-sha1:e2c7e59)
