hmmm....seems that what I'm doing isn't really taking effect.
If I start with the socket appender getting started at startup:
I check and it's there
I remove it
I check and it's gone
I do something that requires logging
it gets to Lumbermill
I check and the socket appender is back!
If I start with out the socket appender:
I check and it's not there
I add it
I check and it's there
I do something that requires logging
it doesn't get to Lumbermill
I check and the socket appender isn't there anymore!
Any idea what's going on? Do I have to save the Logger or something like
that? Should I not be changing the logger, but something else?
I also tried adding the appender to the logger with BasicConfigurator, but
that didn't work either.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse

Mark, thanks for all your suggestions, but I'm still having no luck.
My code now looks like this:
public static void startLumbermillSocketAppender () {
Logger rootLog = Logger.getRootLogger();
SocketAppender app = new SocketAppender("localhost", 4445);
app.setName(LUMBERMILL_APPENDER_NAME);
app.activateOptions();
rootLog.addAppender(app);
}
public static void stopLumbermillSocketAppender () {
Logger rootLog = Logger.getRootLogger();
SocketAppender app = (SocketAppender)
rootLog.getAppender(LUMBERMILL_APPENDER_NAME);
app.cleanUp();
app.close();
rootLog.removeAppender(app);
}
neither of these seem to have any effect on what gets logged.
If Lumbermill is started already, I can do a rootLog.getAllAppenders(), and
when I loop through them, I see that "LogServer" is one of them. When I
call my stop method, then check the rootLog.getAllAppenders again,
"LogServer" is no longer one of the appenders, but Lumbermill is still
getting new logging info, which makes me think the appender hasn't really
been stopped.

Try calling the cleanUp() method on the appender.
