Hello all,
Conditions sounds good.
Now I use two different files for standart and debug mode of application and specify usage in start script using -Dlogback.configurationFile.
But conditional constructions will allow to make it more simple.

Best regards,
Aleskey Didik.

Joran does not come with conditional support. However, it could be
added. Assuming the necessary support was there, how would the
conditional segments look like?

Well, I would either think an

<if test="...">
xml snippet
</if>

construction, where the snippet was only evaluated if the test was true, or

<appender-ref ref="..." if="${enable.appender.FOO}">

would be nice.
In any case it would be nice if this mechanism could be used to avoid constructing unreferenced appenders, as I understand that they are created when seen in the configuration process.

(Oh, and I found that changes in FileAppender options (changing true to false, etc) are not picked up when reloading default configuration over JMX).
