Jan Høydahl updated SOLR-8186:
------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-8186.patch
Attached patch with the following:
* New option {{-Dsolr.log.muteconsole}} which is passed when starting in
foreground mode ({{-f}}). This will programatically disable the {{CONSOLE}}
logger (in SolrDispatchFilter.init), causing the {{solr-8983-console.log}} to
only contain stdout/stderr logs (except for the first few lines before the
logger is disabled).
* Removed some excess Jetty logging by setting default level for
{{org.eclipse.jetty=WARN}} and {{org.eclipse.jetty.server=INFO}}
* Removed annoying log line {{o.e.j.s.SecurityHandler ... has uncovered http
methods for path: /}} by extending web.xml
* Removed annoying log line {{o.a.s.c.CoreContainer Couldn't add files from
/opt/solr/server/solr/lib to classpath:}} when libPath is the hardcoded {{lib}}
* Now printing full date&time also for CONSOLE log
I decided to do the dynamic disabling of CONSOLE logger instead of having
multiple {{log4j.properties}} files floating around, meaning that the muting
will work also for custom logger configs, as long as the console logger is
named {{CONSOLE}}. This is more flexible.

> Currently the log4j.properties file logs to the console, and the start
> scripts capture console output to a logfile that never rotates. This can
> fill up the disk, and when the logfile is removed, the user might be alarmed
> by the way their memory statistics behave -- the "cached" memory might have a
> sudden and very large drop, making it appear to a novice that the huge
> logfile was hogging their memory.
> The logfile created by log4j is rotated when it gets big enough, so that
> logfile is unlikely to fill up the disk.
> I propose that we copy the current log4j.properties file to something like
> log4j-foreground.properties, remove CONSOLE logging in the log4j.properties
> file, and have the start script use the alternate config file when running in
> the foreground. This way users will see the logging output when running in
> the foreground, but it will be absent when running normally.
