One option is to create a custom Log4j2 Filter. Your custom Filter would only be "active" if it detects it's in the correct environment, otherwise it would return NEUTRAL from all `filter(...)` methods.
CompositeFilter is final so you can't subclass it but perhaps you can create a wrapper instead. Here is a link to the manual page that explains how to implement Log4j2 plugins: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/plugins.html This section is specifically about implementing custom filters: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/extending.html#Filters You probably want to subclass AbstractFilter rather than implementing the Filter interface from scratch: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/filter/AbstractFilter.java Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 27, 2017, at 21:00, Mahler, Stefan <stefan.mah...@icongmbh.de> wrote: > > Hello, > > we want replace our legacy proprietary logging framework. > > One important feature of our current logging framework is the so called > 'profile controlled filtering'. > There exist different filtering profiles like 'production', 'test' or > 'development'.
