[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-589) Allow the use of custom levels in configuration

["Remko Popma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-589?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Remko Popma updated LOG4J2-589:
-------------------------------
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1)
                   2.2

This proposal is the missing piece that will make custom levels just as powerful as built-in levels. The [code generator|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customloglevels.html#CodeGen] addressed ease-of-use in the application code, this will address configuration.

Before starting on an implementation I would like feedback on the idea and on the configuration syntax (see comment above).

Thoughts?

> Previous title: Use forName instead of getLevel and valueOf for configuration
> Without this one cannot use custom log levels in configuration without forking a large amount of code.  Either the forName method needs to be removed and custom log levels should be explicitly forbidden, or support should be consistent.
> Classes that would need to be modified:
> BaseConfiguration, NullConfiguration, and DefaultConfiguration.
