Remko Popma updated LOG4J2-589:
-------------------------------
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1)
                   2.2

This proposal is the missing piece that will make custom levels just as 
powerful as built-in levels. The [code 
generator|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customloglevels.html#CodeGen]
 addressed ease-of-use in the application code, this will address configuration.

Before starting on an implementation I would like feedback on the idea and on 
the configuration syntax (see comment above).

Thoughts?

> Allow the use of custom levels in configuration

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Configurators
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
>            Reporter: James Hutton
>              Labels: configuration, custom, level
>             Fix For: 2.2

>
> Previous title: Use forName instead of getLevel and valueOf for configuration
> Without this one cannot use custom log levels in configuration without 
> forking a large amount of code.  Either the forName method needs to be 
> removed and custom log levels should be explicitly forbidden, or support 
> should be consistent.
> Classes that would need to be modified:
> BaseConfiguration, NullConfiguration, and DefaultConfiguration.
