ace/Source/ACE.Server/log4net.config.ConsoleExample

<!-- This config file shows you how to refine your console output.
     In this example, the following takes place:
       All INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL messages go to the console
       Any DEBUG level message with [CORPSE] or [LOOT] is also forwarded to the console
       Any DEBUG level messages from ACE.Server.Managers.HouseManager

     You'll see that Console isn't listed in the root appenders list.
     Instead, we list th forwarders. They will forward the logs to the Console appender.

     This type of forward logging can also be appllied to file outputs.

     Note: stringToMatch is case sensitive! You can also use regexToMatch
