What Gets Logged Control over what gets logged can be expressed at a global level, or on within the scope of a single filter. globalLevel Syntax: globalLevel=levelName Example: globalLevel=All GlobalLevel will set the instance variable level of the EsLogManager singleton whose value overrides the levels of all Appenders. It should generally be set to All. Setting it to Off will disable all logging. Filters classNameFilter Syntax: classNameFilter=someCaseSensitiveLoggerName, someCaseSensitiveAppenderName, someCaseSensitiveFilterName, nameOfASmalltalkClass, acceptOnMatchBoolean Example: classNameFilter=root, Transcript, ClassNameFilter, Transaction, true The classNameFilter can be useful if loggingEvents of the same level are sent to an Appender from different classes. levelMatchFilter Syntax: levelMatchFilter=someCaseSensitiveLoggerName, someCaseSensitiveAppenderName, someCaseSensitiveFilterName, levelName, acceptOnMatchBoolean Example: levelMatchFilter=root, Transcript, LevelMatchFilter, Info, true In the example above the filter allows only logging events with the level Info to appear in the Transcript. levelRangeFilter Syntax: levelRangeFilter=someCaseSensitiveLoggerName, someCaseSensitiveAppenderName, someCaseSensitiveFilterName, firstLevelName, secondLevelName, acceptOnMatchBoolean Example: levelRangeFilter=Vast, Console, LevelRangeFilter, Warn, Info, true In the example above, the filter allows only logging events with a level between Info and Warn inclusive to appear on the console. Notice that the two level names that specify the level range can be specified in any order. stringMatchFilter Syntax: stringMatchFilter=someCaseSensitiveLoggerName, someCaseSensitiveAppenderName, someCaseSensitiveFilterName, stringToMatch, caseSensitiveBoolean, acceptOnMatchBoolean Example: stringMatchFilter=root, Transcript, StringMatchFilter, MOM, false, true In the example above, the filter allows logging entries whose message matches the string MOM, regardless of capitalization, to appear in the Transcript.
