Thomas Golden commented on LOG4J2-252:
--------------------------------------
I'd like to add that the current documentation of the "buffer" parameter in the
SMTPAppender configuration is misleading -- I understood it as "Batch up N
number of error/fatal logging events, then send an email." That batching
functionality described above is highly desirable.
> SMTPAppender: send multiple events in one mail
> ----------------------------------------------

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Matej Vitásek

> I am using Log4j 2 for a Tomcat web application to send me an e-mail whenever
> an ERROR occurs. Usually, more than one error is produced at one time, and I
> get a lot of e-mails over a period of a few seconds.
> It would be great if the SMTPAppender could cluster more events into one
> mail. Of course, one has to be sure that Log4j 2 is not waiting too long to
> send me the errors, which could be solved by a timeout setting.
> So I propose the following: add a new timeout setting to the SMTPAppender.
> Whenever an event that would trigger sending a mail occurs, wait for timeout
> seconds and bundle whatever else events occur into this mail. Only then send
> the mail.
