[logback-user] How to log messages from different packages to different appenders with logback

21 Jul 2015

      I am trying to log messages from third party libraries to different file
with the below logback extract

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level
[%.45(%thread)][%.32(%logger{32})] %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <timestamp key="byDay" datePattern="yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss"/>

    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
        <file>F:\v1\devel\logs\app-${byDay}.txt </file>
        <append>true</append>
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level
[%.45(%thread)][%.32(%logger{32})] %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <!-- ALL: INFO level -->
    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    </root>

    <!-- Third-party: some reduced levels -->
    <logger name="org.hibernate" level="TRACE" additivity="false">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
    </logger>

I want hibernate TRACE level logs to be logged to a file while other INFO
messages should go to the console. The above xml config isn't working for
me. Nothing gets logged to the file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Amit
