Description

The full "appender-ref" function (level & filter) doesn't work at the AsynchAppender like in the Logger-Configuration.

<Asynch name="AsynchTest" blocking="true" bufferSize="2" error-ref="xy" suppressExceptions="true">
<appender-ref ref="ListAppender" /> <== do the job

<appender-ref ref="ErrorAppender" level="Error" /> <== don't work

<appender-ref ref="FilterAppender" level="Error"> <== don't work
<MarkerFilter marker="TEST" onmatch="accept" onmismatch="deny" />
</appender-ref>
</Asynch>

proposal for solution:
AsynchAppender.java : line 79

@Override
public void start() {
final Map<String, Appender> map = config.getAppenders();
final List<AppenderControl> appenders = new ArrayList<AppenderControl>();
for (final AppenderRef appenderRef : appenderRefs) {
if (map.containsKey(appenderRef.getRef())) {
// appenders.add(new AppenderControl(map.get(appenderRef.getRef()), null, null));
// new =>
appenders.add(new AppenderControl(map.get(appenderRef.getRef()), appenderRef.getLevel(), appenderRef.getFilter()));
