Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3151:
-------------------------------------

[~vy] - See 
[https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j-audit/blob/master/log4j-audit/log4j-audit-api/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/audit/AuditLogger.java.]
 It logs using Level.OFF specifically because those events cannot be filtered 
by log level. So we cannot change that behavior.

[~breun] - Yes, you should prevent them from entering OFF or ALL.

> Messages get logged at level OFF

>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.14.1
>            Reporter: Nils Breunese
>            Priority: Major
>
> I am using the following Log4j API to log messages at a configurable level:
> {code:java}
> logger.atLevel(level).log(...); {code}
> This works fine, but then a user configured the log level to be {{Level.OFF}} 
> and to his surprise messages were still logged, at level {{OFF}}. This feels 
> like a bug to me.
> I have created a small demo project that reproduces this behaviour at 
> [https://github.com/breun/log4j-off]. This project logs these two messages:
> {code:java}
> INFO  - Foo
> OFF   - Foo {code}
> But I expected only the first of those two to get logged.
