I have a large application that's currently using about 40
RollingFfileAppenders to log the actions occurring in various parts of the app.
I'd like to transition to using SocketAppender and SocketServer so my app can
be clustered and each member can delegate to the SocketServer to log events.
The log4j.xml used in the application looks like:
<appender name="exceptionLogFile"
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="
/logs/exceptions.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB"/>
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%x %d %-5p - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
Lots more appenders here. They only vary in name.
<category additivity="false" name="app.exceptions">
<priority value="error"/>
<appender-ref ref="exceptionLogFile"/>
</category>
Lots more categories here. Each one specifies a different
appender, except a few that share one.
Can I replace each FileAppender with a SocketAppender all pointed to the same
host/port?
Can the SocketServer maintain the association between each category and the
FileAppender I want for it?
What would the lcf file look like for this?
I've done plenty of searching on this topic, and most everything I've seen
deals with very simple cases, but nothing like multiple categories using
multiple appenders. Any guidance would be most appreciated.
