log4j/log4cxx : exclusive 1 to 1 relation between logger and appender
- by Omry
Using the xml configuration of log4cxx (which is identical in configuration to log4j).
I want to have a certain logger output exclusively to a specific appender (have it the only logger which outputs to that appender).
I found that it's possible to bind a logger to a specific appender like this:
<logger name="LoggerName">
<level value="info"/>
<appender-ref ref="AppenderName"/>
</logger>
but it that logger still outputs to the root appender because I have this standard piece in the conf file:
<root>
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="OtherAppender"/>
</root>
How can I exclude that logger from the root logger?
in other words, how do I configure the log such that all loggers inherit the appenders of the root logger except a specific logger?
