Logger: Channel-based log level

[aderouineau]

This is the scenario I'm trying to reach:

*) Use only one logger, the root logger
*) Print all logs at or above trace/debug on the console, if enabled
*) Write all logs at or above warning in a file

But it seems that it's not currently possible. The only thing I saw is writing to multiple channels, but the level is kept the same for all of them.

There's a Logging library in the SVN sandbox http://poco.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/poco/sandbox/Logging/ which defines various filter channels that allow you to filter and redirect log messages to your heart's content.

How stable is it?

I have used parts of it in a commercial project and it worked well. The only thing that hasn't been really tested is the RepetitionFilter. The other classes (PriorityFilter, SourceFilter, etc.) are not really rocket science and should do their job as expected.

Would it be possible to add PriorityFilter (and thus AbstractFilter as well) to stable?

What has kept them from merging for such a long time?

Someone needs to invest some time to finish the testsuite, which is not quite up to standards.
Apart from that, it could be merged into 1.3.7 or the trunk.

I'm trying to do this with Poco 1.5.0 but it seems that there is no support for it. Can this feature be added?

Yes, there are three ways :
1. do it yourself and contribute code back to the project (this is really easy now when we are on GitHub)
2. hire someone to do it
3. wait until someone has to scratch the same itch
