Details

To use this filter you specify a threshold, and you specify whether to accept or deny the log event if the filter threshold matches the log event threshold. If there is no match, the filtering process continues with the next filter in the filtering policy. If there are no other filters in the filtering policy and if the log event has not been denied, the appender accepts and processes the log event.

Example

The following filter denies log events whose threshold is INFO:

<filter class="LevelMatchFilter">
   <param name="LevelToMatch" value="info"/>
   <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="false"/>
</filter>
