Could you please consider adding such a flag? *The most useful advantages are:* * log files would not even be created on the disk for disabled appenders :) * this makes the analysis much clearer and easier :) * we do not open logfiles just to see that they just have the header but no useful information :) _Maybe_ an {{enabled=true/false}} flag would even give a cool additional benefit: It could be that the logback performance becomes even more powerful because the disabled elements can be removed by the optimizer :) Thanks a lot, kind regards, Thomas ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.8.0#808000-sha1:e2c7e59) _______________________________________________ logback-dev mailing list logback-dev@qos.ch http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/logback-dev
