Lee Theobald updated LOG4J2-621:
--------------------------------
Description:
Currently you can have a pattern that will print out the last X parts of you
package. So if my package was {{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.bar}}, then using
{{%logger{2} }} will print {{foo.bar}}. But when I have a number of different
package levels, this becomes less useful (in my opinion).
What I'd find more useful is the inverse where I can ditch the first X parts.
Something like {{%logger{-3}}} for example. That way I'd end up with:
{{uk.co.ltheobald.Main logging}} as {{Main}}
{{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.MyClass}} logging as {{foo.MyClass}}
{{uk.co.ltheobald.foo.bar.MyOtherClass}} logging as {{foo.bar.MyOtherClass}}
Removing from the start of the logger name allows me to consistently trim off
package names that I know are always the same. I'll see if I can produce a
code example for this if I get time but I wanted to log it in the meanwhile.
