Hello Chris, As Robert mentioned, appenders are inherited cumulatively from the logger tree, unless the additivity flag of a given logger is set to false. Since you have set the bufferSize of SMTPAppender (as mentioned in a previous message), setting the root logger level to DEBUG and attaching both EMAIL and FILE appender to it should cover your needs. For example, <root level="DEBUG"> <appender-ref ref="EMAIL" /> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root> HTH, Chris Cheshire wrote:
In my webapp I am trying to send emails only on errors, with everything else logged to a file. I am using logback under slf4j, with the log4j/slf4j bridge for the external libraries that normally use log4j.
My configuration file is reloaded in the servlet context init (using the Joran configurator example from the documentation) so I can set some system properties used in the appenders (like the context name).
The logging config has :
<root level="ERROR"> <appender-ref ref="EMAIL" /> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root>
<logger name="foo" level="DEBUG"> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </logger>
*Everything* not of log level ERROR coming from foo is getting logged twice. Why? I've pored over Chapter 2 of the documentation and it seems to describe the opposite of what is happening. The level for foo will ideally swap between DEBUG and INFO, but I can't have things logged twice all the time. How do I fix this?
Thanks
Chris
