Markus,
I have a logging system where only fatal errors are sent through an
SMTP handler and mailed to someone. All messages are logged to the console.
To do this my config file looks like this:
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout,mail
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
#Use the SMTPAppender for mail
log4j.appender.mail=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
log4j.appender.mail.Subject=A Fatal Harness Error Occurred
log4j.appender.mail.SMTPHost=myMailHost
log4j.appender.mail.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.mail.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
#implement this class to only react to fatal or above errors
log4j.appender.mail.EvaluatorClass=com.adam.utils.MailEventEvaluator
Now we need to implement com.adam.utils.MailEventEvaluator which will cause
the SMTPHandler to only be used when we come across a fatal level message.
package com.adam.utils;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.TriggeringEventEvaluator;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;
/**
* This class isn used to send fatal error messages to a mail server as
per
* Log4J TriggeringEventEvaluator functionality
*/
public class MailEventEvaluator implements TriggeringEventEvaluator {
public boolean isTriggeringEvent (LoggingEvent event) {
return event.level.isGreaterOrEqual(Level.FATAL);
}
}
Hope this helps,
Adam

Subject: appenders in different levels? [newbie]
Hi,
is it possible to add appenders to category definitions listening to
different
log-levels (sorry if my terminology is awkward)
e.g.
to print only errors of a given Category to the ConsoleAppender, but
printing
all messages to a RolingFileAppender?
(a workaround would be to define a seperate Category)
any examples (*.lcf) would be very helpful.
thanks,
Markus
