A logger in the logback.xml acts as a pointer for the logs produced by the application:
<logger name="puppetlabs.pcp" level="info" additivity="false"> <appender-ref ref="PCP"/> </logger>
This example connects to the puppetlabs.pcp log in the Puppetserver application, and collects the info-level logs. The additivity=false flag tells the log to replace the file, rather than append to it. Finally, the appender-ref tag tells the logger which appender to use for the logging configuration.
