You can do that. See here: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/jmxConfig.html I typically change my logback configuration file on the file system then use jconsole to request that logback reload it.
You may have to jump through some hoops to get jconsole to connect to a running application server. I stuff these in my .bashrc on development box to make it simple: CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost" export CATALINA_OPTS Thats about the lease secure way you could setup JMX, but it gets the job done for development.
AFAIK, JMX requires no configuration with JDK 1.6. After adding <jmxConfigurator/> into logback.xml, you just run jconsole. Does your experience differ? Otherwise, if running under JDK 1.5, the steps you describe look good.
Just as a side note, http://logback.qos.ch/manual/index.html links to http://logback.qos.ch/manual/jmxConfig.html as http://logback.qos.ch/manual/jmxConfigurator.html which 404s.
Fixed it. Thank you.

Hi, Is it possible to change at runtime (with no restart the server) the log level for an appender (for example from error to info) ? If yes is it possible to have some code hints ?
Thanks a lot for all help
