buffering appender :auto flush as a function of logging level?

[shelby pereira <sh...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I have a feature request for the buffering appender.

It would be nice to have a way to state in the config file that we would
like all levels above a certain level to be flushed automatically for the
buffering appender.

For example, in some applications logging at the Error level or Fatal levels
represents critical information, so it would be nice to flush these
automatically.

cheers,

If you are using a BufferingForwardingAppender to buffer messages in
memory before sending them all to an appender, i.e. in non-lossy mode.
You can used the <evaluator> to control when the buffer should be
immediately sent.

See the second example for the BufferingForwardingAppender on:
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html#buffering
forwardingappender

This example is actually setup in lossy mode, but will work fine if
<lossy value="false" />.

Cheers,
Nicko
