Description

Unable to create custom logging level using log4j 2 Bridge API

Following did not create a custom logging level

public static final int FINE_INT = 13000;

public static final Level FINE = new Level(FINE_INT, "FINE", 7); 

 

Using FINE logging level is considered to be DEBUG level by default while printing it

Adding log:

log.log(Level.FINE,"PRINT: Level.FINE log");

 

Expected log printed:

2022-02-25 15:50:09,208 Main[6788] :main: example.com.Test FINE - PRINT: Level.FINE log 

 

Actual log printed:

2022-02-25 15:50:09,208 Main[6788] :main: example.com.Test DEBUG - PRINT: Level.FINE log
