Re: Metron REST - Logging Config

[Nick Allen]

Actually per step 3, this is what the property should look-like. Note that
"file:" has to precede the path.

-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/path/to/log4j.properties

Re: Metron REST - Logging Config

Yes, this is what I did.  Pulling this from memory, so I might be slightly
off on the exact commands used.

1. I deleted the `log4j.properties` file from the Metron REST jar.  I
believe I used `zip -d ...`.

2. I created my own log4j properties file.  Something like...
`/usr/metron/0.4.1/config/log4j/metron-rest/log4j.properties`

3. I then added
`-Dlog4j.properties=/usr/metron/0.4.1/config/log4j/metron-rest/log4j.properties`
as a JVM argument in one of the properties in /etc/sysconfig/metron.


I think ultimately, we don't want to ship a log4j properties file in the
JAR itself.

The only way I know of is to change log4j.properites.  Did you every figure
out a better way?

Metron REST - Logging Config

[Nick Allen]

How do I configure logging for Metron REST on a deployed host?

Right now a log4j.properties file gets packaged into the metron-rest JAR
itself.  Is there is an easy way that I am missing?
