Class LevelMatchFilter

public class LevelMatchFilter extends Filter

This is a very simple filter based on level matching.

The filter admits two options LevelToMatch and AcceptOnMatch. If there is an exact match between the value of the LevelToMatch option and the level of the {@link LoggingEvent}, then the {@link #decide} method returns {@link Filter#ACCEPT} in case the AcceptOnMatch option value is set to true, if it is false then {@link Filter#DENY} is returned. If there is no match, {@link Filter#NEUTRAL} is returned.
