As I understand it, if you have <configuration scan="true"> in your logback.xml file, and within that file you <include...> another xml file, the scan attributes filter down into that included file.

I believe and would like for this functionality to also affect properties files, as any change in the read in properties files are in effect a change in the logback.xml file.

Use case is having a properties file outside the webapp space that a devops can alter to change logging level.
