No one is being forced to configure their deployment - it is a process (and cost) associated with EVERY OFBiz installation, regardless of the outcome of this discussion.

Jacques,

That perspective goes both ways. From my perspective, you are trying
*force* everyone to do things your way.

That is why everyone is trying to get you to realize that a
one-size-fits-all setting will not work - because everyone is different.

If you want the error log on your installation, then configure it to do
so. Why *force* EVERYONE to have an error log?

Not when you want to quickly spot obvious errors that you can easily fix
or wait to fix later, and yes I spent my share of debugging also...

But anyway, why do you want to *force* everybody to use the same way
than you, are you an OFBiz prophet?

As someone who has spent thousands of hours debugging OFBiz
installations I can assure you that the error.log is redundant and
provides no true value over ofbiz.log.  As I've mentioned a few times
now, OFBiz errors are regularly worthless without knowledge of the
context of the error which can only be found in ofbiz.log.

With a few command line tools "clutter" is a total non-issue and even
a basic knowledge of those tools is a total time saver when
investigating log files.

  On the basis that log analysis and error identification/reporting costs
money, and the more complex this process is the more it costs.
An error log contains less clutter and is the first point in
identification
and triage of (severe) issues in any organisation that has adopted a
methodology for service delivery (e.g. ITIL, ISO/IEC 20000, etc),
specifically the error control process (in ITIL)

Without this OOTB more time is spend on:

    - going through the other, more detailed log(s) in the various OFBiz
    systems an organisation might have (e.g. dev, test, prod, etc)
    - getting the error log back and ensuring that it stays in.

  I don't understand why you are so not open to put back the
error.log in

log4j2.xml

Because it is just one of 1 million possible ways to configure
logging:

it

is a specific one on not a generic one and so it is not better
than the
other 1 million possibilities; you have explained why you like it but

me or

others could find similar arguments for the other millions ways;
since

no

one seconded you in your attempt to add the configuration back this
confirms to me that this specific configuration is not better than

other;

for this reason it should be left out of the trunk.

  and qualify this as a mess and almost myself and idiot.

I didn't say this and the mail archive can demonstrate it; you
have been
trying to raise the tone of the conversation since the beginning
of this
thread (and you did the same in at least another thread recently)
but I
will not start to fight with you.
