Yes, I was hoping for a little magic. Conditional logging seems like such a basic concept that I am greatly surprised to have to jump through hoops to achieve it. The documentation I've read for filters seems to be intended for an audience with prior webapp development experience. Unfortunately I do not fall into that crowd, so I was unaware a filter had to be related to another piece of configuration/code. I am looking into the url-rewrite filter as suggested.
