For those wishing to use Sentry for logging, I got it working :-). I'm using raven-java: https://github.com/kencochrane/raven-java
1) Copy the default logger 'PRODUCTION_LOGGING.properties' file to SENTRY_LOGGING.properties 2) Open the file in a text editor 3) Change the line that starts with log4j.rootLogger to: log4j.rootLogger=WARN, geoserverlogfile, stdout, SentryAppender 4) Add the following to the file, change the sentry, key, host and ID : log4j.appender.SentryAppender=net.kencochrane.raven.log4j.SentryAppender log4j.appender.SentryAppender.dsn=http://SENTRY:KEY@HOST/ID 5) Download necessary jars: Read: https://github.com/kencochrane/raven-java/tree/master/raven-log4j#manual-dependency-management And install them to geoserver/WEB-INF/lib 6) I needed to remove my old commons-codec and log4j jars. 7) Restart tomcat 8) Select the new SENTRY_LOGGING.properties in the Global Settings menu. 9) Voila Roland On 08/29/2013 11:31 AM, Roland van Laar wrote: > On 08/28/2013 05:49 PM, Roland van Laar wrote: >> Hello, >> > I started to look at the code for GeoServer this morning. >> I'm trying to configure Geoserver so that it will log its error to >> sentry (getsentry.com). >> There is a raven-log4j which should do this for me. >> The first step was creating a new log4j logging file. >> >> So far I am following the following: >> http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/advanced/logging.html > > So far I've found the following: > - Configuration files should end in logging.properties, case insensitive. > - The configuration files are picked up when put in /var/log/tomcat7/ > > Probably the log files are loaded before setBaseDirectory in > GeoServerResourceLoader is called. > I did set the datadir in web.xml to > /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/geoserver/data > > Any ideas what to do next to import the log files from the data/logs dir? > >> >> I deployed the latest stable geoserver (WAR) on ubuntu with tomcat 7. >> I added a GEOTOOLS_DEVELOPER_LOGGING example configuration in the file >> GEOTOOLS_TEST_LOGGING.properties. >> I added the file in the following directory >> /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/logs. >> Next up was a tomcat7 restart. >> The file didn't show under Logging Profile on the global settings page. >> >> What do I need to do differently to let the new logging file show up >> on the global settings page? >> > Thnx, >> Thank you, >> >> Roland > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
