Unfortunately that won't fly either. Config file is embedded in the package and the system is tightly locked down. We need to be able to change it via some remote mechanism - HTTP, JMX etc.

You need to use Logback's ability to reconfigure itself to change the value at runtime.  Just set scan="true" and change the file.

Thanks Ralph, but after reading the user guide and java docs I'm not seeing how I can adjust this value at run time (only that I can set multiple values).  Basically, if there's a problem reported, I want to be able to use JMX or some other means to tell log back to start logging all messages for user X (an MDC value) at DEBUG and then later revert back to normal logging. 

Is it possible to get a reference to an existing turbo-filter and then set the value directly?  If so, I can create my own MBean that modifies the filter as needed.

Use the DynamicThresholdFilter.

Hi- I'd like to leverage the MDCFilter TurboFilter, but I need to be able to change the "value" element at runtime.  Basically, if a specific user is having trouble, I want to set their logs to show up as DEBUG while the remainder of the logs show up as INFO.  Is there a way (preferably using JMX) that this can be done via configuration?  If not, what's the best approach programatically?

Thanks,
Dan
