Is it possible to log only one level messages with

If I set the log level to DEBUG, All messages with log level >= DEBUG will be logged/printed. But can I set log level to only DEBUG, such that messages with log level only with DEBUG will be printed. Or can give a range like print all messages whose log level is >=DEBUG but < ERROR?

Maybe you can use a LevelMatchFilter?

At some situation, You have to write logs to different outputs according to the level. how can it be done by simply configuration of Log4j? There are some methods below.

As said Jarle you have to use LevelMatchFilter. I will demonstrate it with one simple exam:

log4j.rootLogger = WARN, admin 
log4j.appender.admin=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender
        log4j.appender.admin.rollingPolicy = org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy
        log4j.appender.admin.rollingPolicy.FileNamePattern = Files\\TestLevels-%d{dd-MM-yyy}.txt
        log4j.appender.admin.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
        log4j.appender.admin.layout.ConversionPattern = Date: %d{dd-MM-yyyy} Time: %d{HH:mm:ss} Message [%m]%n
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.01=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.01.LevelToMatch=FATAL
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.01.AcceptOnMatch=false
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.02=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.02.LevelToMatch=ERROR
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.02.AcceptOnMatch=true
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.03=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.03.LevelToMatch=WARN
        log4j.appender.admin.filter.03.AcceptOnMatch=false

In my source I append only ERROR messages to file with name TestLevels.txt
