More precisely, we want to provide a utility function where you pass in a logger and a severity and the function then modifies the global filter so that all records comming from the specified logger with a severity below the specified one will be discarded.
But if you can pass a logger to this function, why can't you pass the channel name?
I guess I can, see below.
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. 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. Thanks & Regards, Andreas
