Unless I'm missing something, this would require us keeping a global list of all loggers that have a filter applied, correct?
Unless you can work with channel names instead of loggers, yes.
I don't understand, it seems even if I have the channel name (instead of the logger), I still need to maintain a global map that associates each channel name with its minimum severity level, right? Otherwise I don't see how I can implement is_channel_enabled.
Right, the function will need some kind of container of all enabled channels.
Anyway, doing this certainly is no big deal. It just seems a bit odd, because it would be easier and more efficient to implement if we could set a filter on a logger.
Loggers don't filter records, because you're not restricted to have a single logger per channel. But if that restriction is mandated in your application, you can implement a logger feature that would do additional filtering inside the logger.
