Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2174:
-------------------------------------

Well, that was over 6 years ago so I don't recall what I was dealing with at the time. But as I recall it is because when you specify OFF as a logging level on logIfEnabled it actually means it will always be logged. Yes, I know that is counter intuitive but if you specify logIfEnabled with a level of ALL it will only be logged it the level specified in the configuration is ALL. OTOH, if you specify a logging level of OFF in the configuration you would only get events that are logged at the OFF level.
