Hi, I am trying to configure async loggers for my application using log4j2. When I log my events .. They still seem to be synchronous. I see the log even flushed to the file immediately. I would have assumed, async loggers will hold the events till the buffer is full before flushing. How do I confirm if is actually doing asynchronous logging. Or please correct if I am missing something.
In my startup I have (for all async loggers). -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector Also, have the disruptor 3.2.1 in the class path. I use slf4j and use the bridge to log to log4j2 This is my log4j2.xml (just using the one which the http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html provides) 1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 2. <Configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" packages=""> 3. <Appenders> 4. <RollingRandomAccessFile name="RollingRandomAccessFile" fileName="logs/app.log" 5. filePattern="logs/$${date:yyyy-MM}/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz" immediateFlush="false"> 6. <PatternLayout> 7. <Pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</Pattern> 8. </PatternLayout> 9. <Policies> 10. <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy /> 11. <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="250 MB"/> 12. </Policies> 13. </RollingRandomAccessFile> 14. </Appenders> 15. <Loggers> 16. <Root level="error"> 17. <AppenderRef ref="RollingRandomAccessFile"/> 18. </Root> 19. </Loggers> 20. </Configuration> Thanks -prashant
