Scott Deboy commented on LOG4J2-252:
------------------------------------
One implementation idea: Add a Timer with a daemon thread to SMTPManager and a
quietPeriod property on the appender that's passed to the SMTPManager. If
there are events to be sent and the quietPeriod is exceeded, send them.
Have the SMTPManager implement LifeCycle (or just provide a stop method by
itself) and cancel the Timer in SMTPManager's stop method, calling
SMTPManager's stop from SMTPAppender.stop.
> SMTPAppender: send multiple events in one mail

> 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.
