Description

When using composite configuration, if you specify a filter under logger's appenderRef, that filter will not be added. For example:

<Logger name="cat4" level="debug" additivity="false">
    <AppenderRef ref="File">
        <RegexFilter regex="TEST4"/>
    </AppenderRef>
</Logger>

This is because the code does not copy grandchildren, only the immediate children of the logger are copied.
