There is no out-of-the-box support for level-specific patterns in logback at this time. You could of course write your own layout which does what you describe. See http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#writingYourOwnLayout for documentation on this topic. Alternatively, you could write a custom conversion specifier. If you had a specifier called %debug which output contents only for level DEBUG, and a %warn specifier which output contents only for level WARN and another specifier %ERROR which output contents for ERROR, your pattern could be written as %debug(%level %d %t) %error(%level) %info(%level) %m%n See http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#customConversionSpecifier for documentation on this topic.

Is it possible to have a logbook-text.xml file that defines two different patterns? For example
if the level is debug, I want the level, time stamp, thread, file, line number, and message.
If the level is error or warn, I want the level and message
If the level is info I just want the message
