//The connect/express logger was added to log4js by danbell. This allows connect/express servers to log using log4js.

// load modules

//define logger
var logger = log4js.getLogger('log4jslog');

// set at which time msg is logged print like: only on error & above
// logger.setLevel('ERROR');

//express app

	//http responses 4xx & 5xx, level = ERROR
	//else.level = INFO
