This is still in the proof of concept phase, but what I am trying to do is create a filter which allows developers to dynamically turn on/off loggers based on some parameters without restarting their system. The parameters can be varied, like: 1. Turn on WARN log levels of a particular class. 2. Turn on TRACE logging only on a particular host. 3. Turn on DEBUG logs only for requests by a particular client for a short duration, ... and any combination of such parameters.
The way I was thinking of doing this was creating a filter which takes in a Supplier<Rule> and then evaluates a log event against that rule.
