Selection Rule:
 

  • A logging request is said to be enabled if its level is higher than or equal to the level of its logger. Otherwise, the request is said to be disabled.

Reminder: A logger without an assigned level will inherit one from the hierarchy.



Basic Selection Rule

A log statement of level p in a logger with inherited level q, is enabled if p >= q.

This rule assumes that priorities are ordered as follows: DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL.
