Is there something specific to using the TRACE level logging and the filters? What I have now is my lcd.log set to deny ERROR and INFO messages (there are no FATAL or WARN messages logged anywhere) and to accept DEBUG and TRACE messages. I see debug messages in the lcd.log, but no trace messages, even though there are places in the application logging via trace().
For completeness, here is my xml config file: (I have also tried setting the threshold to TRACE in the lcd.log, but that had no effect).

Just to be sure, I tried again today several scenarios: 1) The original scenario, using LevelRangeFilter for just TRACE messages - no output in lcd.log 2) Same, but add DenyAllFilter as suggested. Again, no output in lcd.log 3) Change to LevelMatchFilter: LevelToMatch = TRACE; AcceptOnMatch = true; with DenyAllFilter. Now I get everything BUT TRACE messages in lcd.log 4) Same as #3, but remove DenyAllFilter. Same result 5) Same as #4: LevelToMatch = TRACE; but change AcceptOnMatch to false. Same result, everything but TRACE in lcd.log 6) Just to be sure there is nothing specifc to TRACE messages, change LevelTomatch = INFO, AcceptOnMatch to true; include DenyAllFilter. Again, I get DEBUG messages into lcd.log (as well as the expected INFO messages), but no TRACE messages. Any other ideas on what I have set up incorrectly? Or does this feature have some problems?
