That's exactly the use case I'm looking for. I'll have to study it some more. Can you give me an example which filters out everything but INFO? Thanks,Nick

The StackOverflow link was an answer to the question "how to send _only_ INFO level events to an appender". I thought it would illustrate how filters combinations could be used to achieve the original request: "I might want all DEBUG, TRACE and VERBOSE events going to one appender. All INFO, ERROR and WARN events going to another appender. All BUSINESS events (my custom) level, going to yet another appender." Seemed to me to be a similar use case to the SO question.
