Hello! I’m at a loss on how to selectively enable debug logging when overriding a global logger. If I override the `global_logger` like this:
ConsoleLogger(stdout, Logging.Info) |\> global\_logger
then setting `ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"]="MyModule"` doesn’t have any effect because the `min_level` is INFO. However, if I set `min_level` to DEBUG - all of the debug statements get logged. `JULIA_DEBUG` seems to have no effect…
Would be grateful for any pointers!

the `ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"]` thing is a mess, that @c42f have been talking about replacing for years.
See [DemuxLogger does not work with JULIA\_DEBUG? · Issue #20 · JuliaLogging/LoggingExtras.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/oxinabox/LoggingExtras.jl/issues/20)
I suggest [LoggingExtras](https://github.com/oxinabox/LoggingExtras.jl) is a much better solution.
I would do something like (not tested).
```julia
using LoggingExtras
global_logger(EarlyFilteredLogger(ConsoleLogger(stdout, BelowMinLevel)) do log
# Keep any messages from MyModule or of Info level or greater
log._module == MyModule || log.level >= Info
end)
```
