Sorry, I think I got misunderstood. I have no problem with levels/thresholds when logging from the app.
What I want to do is generate an additional log message from INSIDE the appender code, WHILE it is about to process an application message. bruno -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 10:59 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: Logging from appender I'm not an expert on Log4j, but recently had a similar requirement. I didn't want debug messages appearing on the console. So on my console appender, I set a threshold like this: log4j.appender.CA.Threshold=INFO I got that from somebody else on this list. This way I only see INFO messages and above on the console and I see everything in my log file from debug up. If you did the same but set the threshold above WARN, the console will only show messages above WARN, however you won't see anything less than or equal to WARN on the console. Don't know if that helps. I think the log4j configuration in XML allows for a min and max threshold.

(separate from the message that the appender is currently processing) Why do I even ask this? My appender checks disk utilization every hour. I'd like to record the % of disk utilized in the log. I tried using LogLog.warn(), but it puts the message on the console, not in the log file generated by the appender. I could probably add it manually to the code that writes to the file, but that feels messy... and I suspect that there's built-in log4j functionality for what I want to do. bruno --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
