Hallo Ray,
thanks for your explanation.
Based on the new information, I am trying to use Logback.
I actually made some progress, but still have one fundamental problem.
I added the logback maven dependencies. I found some documentation from you,
saying that I also have to add sl4j as dependency.
Why is this necessary?
I set the configurationFile as runproperties and of course I added the
configuration file itself:
<configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="5 seconds">
<!-- defined a console append -->
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>myApp.log</file>
<append>true</append>
<immediateFlush>true</immediateFlush>
<encoder>
<pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} -
%msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<!-- log all Bundle events -->
<logger name="Events.Bundle" level="TRACE"/>
<!-- log WARN Framework service events of bundles whose BSN starts with
`org.eclipse.osgi` (guess who that is?) -->
<logger name="Events.Service.org.eclipse.osgi" level="WARN"/>
<!-- log DEBUG Service events for bundles whose BSN starts with
`com.pernexas` -->
<logger name="com.pernexas" level="DEBUG" />
<root level="ERROR">
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</root>
</configuration>
Here is where the problem starts.
I do not get any log entry for any of the three configured packages, especially
of "com.pernexas".
BUT, when I set the root level to DEBUG I do get log entries from several
bundles (e.g. jetty). Unfortunately, I do not get any log from com.pernexas.
I found also your Github project "osgi-to-logback". I am not sure, if this is
still necessary now, after the release of osgi r7 and new logback? Especially
as the project is archived.
Is it still necessary to add a configuration for a bundle in order to configure
the log level through config admin? I was hoping, that this is now done by
logback?
Thanks for your patient help.

Philipp,
a) you don't need logback, but the Log Service spec doesn't define
appenders per say, so you either have to provide your own LogListener
implementation, fetch a LogStreamProvider and process the events, or maybe
the LogService implementation offers it's own appenders (my experience has
been that I want everything to land in the same place.)
b) you can use configuration admin to configure log levels as per the spec
[1] which is to say that you create a configuration using the following PID
scheme [2].
*Note:* every bundle has it's own LoggerContext (mapped to a configuration
PID as described in [2]). There is also a ROOT context which is effectively
the fallback for everything (so you could use that as the singular
configuration if you like.)
Logback support is really to unify all the different logging APIs into a
single backend because the stark reality is that you will encounter other
logging APIs if you spend enough time with your application and the effort
of handling each of those on it's own always causes pain. The goal of Felix
Logback is to make that scenario less painful.
Sincerely,
- Ray
