I am exploring the possibility of using log4j for logging in our applications, replacing a home grown one, which has some similarity with the asyn appender. We would like to use the Async appender writting to a socket appender. I have a few questions:
1. Is there a way to monitor the queue of the async appender ? 2. If an Async appender is writting to a socket appender and if there is a network issue and the queue gets full, is there a way to overwirte the queue rather than block the user (not acceptable). Can the queue be circular ? we would prefer losing the log messages to blocking a user. 3. If multiple servers are sending log messages to a socket on a server, can the messages get corrupted ? I am hoping to achieve the ability to write to a central log from multiple servers by using asyn appenders writting to Socket appender. Does anyone see any issues in this approach ? I know we could use the JMS appender, but we don't want to go that way right now. Any help is appreciated.
