Tree-based filter for logger name #258

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It would be very convenient to have a tree-based filter for the logger name, 
just like the 'Class filter'.

The system I am debugging through logging has a log4j configuration that I 
cannot change at my will, because it is shared with other people. For example, 
I cannot simply disable logging for certain loggers that I am not interested in 
since others depend on the information being logged. Instead, I am using OLV to 
filter the logging events. Currently, if I want to filter based on the logger 
name, I can focus only on a single logger, for example 
com.example.product.MyClass. I cannot display events for several loggers, say, 
all loggers with the prefix com.example.product.

It would be a good start to have a prefix-based filter for the logging name. 
Even better would be a tree-based filter as in Chainsaw or as in the 'Class 
filter'.
