Dear Jacob, Thanks for your comments, I have addes this new features on Bugzilla: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40532 About your suggestions, I have a general idea about what you mean in order to specify the oposite situation (so, limit my classes and for others external libraries apply a default policy: warn level), the problem is that I am not Log4j expert and it works for me right now, with more configuration effort, :-( Please could you try to expose those changes on my original log4j.xml file? Thanks a lot, David I am going to add this new feature on Bugzila

And it's , not Otherwise, Interesting idea. It won't work and I doubt very much that this will be added to Log4j-1.2.xx, but it might be something for later versions. You could post an enhancement report in bugzilla. Your only real chance to get this behavior currently is to set everything in the logger. In fact, I usually set most everything in the logger and only define other loggers if I want behavior in any way different than what I set in the logger. Also, I usually set the logger to value="warn"/> and specify a lower level only when I truly need it. Below is how I would envision your config file. I think you'll find it 100% more manageable. By defaulting to a higher level "warn" in , you can then make an exception for your own organization's package instead of having to exhaustively account for all the external packages your application uses. Generalize the unknown (external library config) and specify the known (your organization's config).... xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="false"> class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> value="%5p%x[%M](%C{1}:%L) - %m%n"/> class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> value="[%d{yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss},%6.6r]%5p%x[%M](%C{1}:%L) - %m%n"/> class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> Jake >Thanks for your help, > >David > >Bender Heri wrote: >Here is an example of an xml configuration which >uses filters (BTW: Using this two appenders when >debugging in eclipse the console shows the DEBUG >and INFO in black color and the others in red >color).
