Do you log those new fields individually like into a table? Do you use any
patternlayouts?

Please respond to
"LOG4J Users Mailing
List"
Mike,
First of all I created and used a class called ThreadInfo (very similar to
MDC that is being talked about) to record user, component, request etc. So
this gets logged on every line of the log.
Secondly, I created priority levels called PERFORMANCE and TRANSACTION.
Performance is for logging time taken by components. Transaction is to
log the 'shopping cart' everytime somebody placed something in the shopping
cart.
Currently these two levels are used only around common entry points. For
example, we have a common entry point in servlet, where different
components are used to service requests. I have put performance logging
around it in my servlet. Similarly we have common point of entry for buying
logic and I have put Transaction logging around it.
Hope this helps,
Seemantini

Subject: log4j for Auditing
It seems that log4j could be used for Auditing as well as general
debugging and logging. We need to do some basic audit trails: Userid,
what they did, which component, timestamp, etc.
My question is this: Has anyone used log4j for this? And if so, what
priority do you log these things at? It needs to 'log' all the time, and
therefore should be 'ERROR' or 'FATAL', but these priorities do not seem
appropriate for audit trails.
Thanks,
Mike
