Hi guys,
I've seen a few threads on what I'm about to ask but no success when following them. I'd like to split my logging such that one appender logs all messages of DEBUG level and above and another logs all messages of WARN level and above. My current log4j config file is:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, myappender, SOCK
log4j.appender.myappender=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myappender.File=../../log/abc.log
log4j.appender.myappender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.myappender.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.myappender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.myappender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p - %m%n
log4j.appender.SOCK=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.SOCK.RemoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.SOCK.Port=9245
log4j.appender.SOCK.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{%d-%b %H:%M:%S.%J} tid[%t] %-5p %l %m%n
log4j.appender.SOCK.layout.TimeZone=GB
log4j.appender.SOCK.LocationInfo=true
log4j.appender.threshold.SOCK=WARN
log4j.debug=true



So I'm hoping that 'myappender' logs DEBUG and above and SOCK logs WARN and above but this doesn't seem to work. Does any body have a working example of this I could look at?

I'm using log4cxx 0.9.7 and I need to use with non-XML config.

Many Thanks

You are trying to set the threshold property on the SOCK appender, so the line should be:

log4j.appender.SOCK.threshold=WARN

Unfortunately, I could not find any unit test in either log4j or log4cxx that provided a sample configuration file that demonstrated setting the threshold on an appender.
