Hello Neale, The configuration file looks correct. How is the level attribute ignored? Which version of logback are you using? Best regards, Neale Upstone wrote:
Hi,
I've been trying the examples at http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html and the level attribute is always ignored.
i.e. the following should ensure that I only get error messages logged:
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender>
<root level="error"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> </configuration>
This is quite frustrating, especially as there is no DTD (which would also provide documentation and the ability to edit config files confidently in an XML editor, as is simple with Spring configs).
Can anyone help.
Cheers,
Neale
