Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current logging configuration in [1] does not support to set the logging level for handler in [2], and this prevents to separate the logging to Azure and local in different levels based on logger hierarchy. For example
import logging
from azure.monitor.opentelemetry import configure_azure_monitor
app_logger = logging.getLogger("App")
app_logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
app_local_logger = logging.getLogger("App.local")
app_local_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
configure_azure_monitor(connection_string="", logger_name="app_logger")
In the application, we would like to always use logger "app_logger_local" for different level of loggings to stdout and stderr, and relying on logging hierarchy to pass logs to "app_logger". And we only would like to use Azure AppInsights to collect log with level ERROR or higher.
But this design is so far not feasible, as there is no checking of parent logger level at [3], see also [4].
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if a new argument could be added to [1], like logging_level to setup the logging level of the handler in [2], so we could rely on the above example code to collect loggings in different levels at different destination.
