------------------------------------

             Summary: Logger interface is lacking methods for logging at variable level
                 Key: LOG4J2-179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-179
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta4
            Reporter: Joern Huxhorn


The interface org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger contains the method boolean "isEnabled(Level level)" which is very nice.

I would have expected it to also contain the following methods:

boolean isEnabled(Level level, Marker marker);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, Message msg);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, Message msg, Throwable t);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, Object message);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, Object message, Throwable t);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, String message);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, String message, Object... params);
void log(Level level, Marker marker, String message, Throwable t);
void log(Level level, Message msg);
void log(Level level, Message msg, Throwable t);
void log(Level level, Object message);
void log(Level level, Object message, Throwable t);
void log(Level level, String message);
void log(Level level, String message, Object... params);
void log(Level level, String message, Throwable t);
(i.e. every method defined for an explicit level but just with an Level as the first argument)

That way it would be easier to log at a variable level in cases where the level to be used can only be determined at runtime.
