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

             Summary: Messages get logged at level OFF
                 Key: LOG4J2-3151
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3151
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.14.1
            Reporter: Nils Breunese


I am using the following Log4j API to log messages at a configurable level:
{code:java}
logger.atLevel(level).log(...); {code}
This works fine, but then a user configured the log level to be {{Level.OFF}} and to to his surprise messages were still logged, at level {{OFF}}. This feels like a bug to me.

I have created a small demo project that reproduces this behaviour at [https://github.com/breun/log4j-off]. This project logs these two messages:
{code:java}
INFO  - Foo
OFF   - Foo {code}
But I expected only the first of those two to get logged.
