How to log to a regular file without using levels (warn, info, etc) ?
I am interested in using log4j for audit logging, in other words, I will
open my own file and start logging anything I want. Therefore I do NOT want
to use warn, info or any log level. Something like that:
Log log = new Log("blah.txt");
log.log("Test");
log.close();
How can I do that with LOG4J?
A concrete example that I can run will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Rebecca Ahlvarsson

Yes. Use a Marker on your Audit events and then add a global filter that accepts events with those Markers.

Take a look at the EventLogger:
