Hello, 0.9.9 is the reason. Only logback versoins 0.9.12 and later accept level as an attribute: <root level="error"> ... </root> for "older" versions, the level has be specified as an element: <root> <level>error</level> </root> Of course, logback versions 0.9.12 honor the old format as well. In any case, level values are case insensitive. HTH, Neale Upstone wrote:
Hi,
Tried CAPS, and that doesn't work. I'm using 0.9.9 as I want to use the Eclipse plugin.
Cheers,

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
Try using <root level="ERROR">, i.e. capital letters. Just a guess, HTH
