Description

I am trying to change the Level programmatically .

I am able to change the logger level using the loggerConfig, but I could not find a way to change the appender level.

1. Is there any code example that demonstrate how to change the appender level like we have  :http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customconfig.html#Hybrid for logger level change, as I see the level in appender is final.
2. To change appender level should we change the appender or appenderRef? if I change appenderRef of a logger then any other logger using the same appender will get same level. (I mean appender is a singleton)

Thanks for your help in advance.
