RE: Logging levels

Yep using it like this makes more sense, but unfortunately again doesn't work. 
I had a quick look at source code (socketappender.cpp) and looks like the 
setOption function doesn't take account of the threshold. 

void SocketAppender::setOption(const String& option,
        const String& value)
{
        if (StringHelper::equalsIgnoreCase(option, _T("remotehost")))
        {
                setRemoteHost(value);
        }
        else if (StringHelper::equalsIgnoreCase(option, _T("port")))
        {
                setPort(OptionConverter::toInt(value, DEFAULT_PORT));
        }
        else if (StringHelper::equalsIgnoreCase(option, _T("locationinfo")))
        {
                setLocationInfo(OptionConverter::toBoolean(value, false));
        }
        else if (StringHelper::equalsIgnoreCase(option, 
_T("reconnectiondelay")))
        {
                setReconnectionDelay(OptionConverter::toInt(value, 
DEFAULT_RECONNECTION_DELAY));
        }
        else
        {
                AppenderSkeleton::setOption(name, value);  // This is just an 
empty function 
        }
}

It seems simple enough to add another case to set the threshold variable - I'll 
try it out later and get back to the list..

You are trying to set the threshold property on the SOCK appender, so the line 
should be:

log4j.appender.SOCK.threshold=WARN

Unfortunately, I could not find any unit test in either log4j or log4cxx that 
provided a sample configuration file that demonstrated setting the threshold on 
an appender.
