How would I dynamically turn log4cxx logging to the console on and off in an
application?
Goal here is to process a used choice, command line parm or GUI input or
whatever. Thus in a hypothetical main loop:
if ( userWantsToStartConsoleLogger )
ConsoleLogger( true );
if ( userWantsToStopConsoleLogger )
ConsoleLogger( false );
My logging setup is:
#include <log4cxx/logger.h>
#include <log4cxx/propertyconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/helpers/exception.h>
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
const log4cxx::LoggerPtr logger;
log4cxx::PropertyConfigurator::configure("./logs.config");
}
where ./logs.config looks like:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, File
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=logs/system.logs
log4j.appender.File.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.File.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS a} %p
%c %m%n
NOTE: Presently, I have to add , stdout after FILE in the rootlogger= line to
accomplish this.
In this context, of course, the question is, what goes in my ConsoleLogger()
function?
Thanks,
Wea
