Logback Do not inherit root appenders

Question

I have a logback config where I have one logger that should not inherit the syslog appender that has been added to the root logger. I can\'t find anywhere in the documentation h

Answer 1

Turn off additivity (default true) for your logger:

As the logback-manual describes: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#overrridingCumulativity

If you just want it to not have the SYSLOG appender, but FILE and STDOUT, you'll have to register those at the logger itself as well.
