Re: How to filter the unnecessary log messages

[Not pasting the big log file]
You need to use a log4j.xml in the classpath. The format/how to of the
log4j.xml is explained in this link
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html

Many examples are provided here
http://wiki.apache.org/logging-log4j/Log4jXmlFormat.

To cut the short story even shorter, the below xml directs all output from
any class under my.package.* to the SERVER-FILE.

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM log4j.dtd

log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
debug=false

!-- server log file, for server use --
appender name=SERVER-FILE
class=org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender
param name=File value=app-server.log/
param name=Append value=true/
/appender
!--INFO and above goes to the file --
category name=my.package
priority value=INFO/
appender-ref ref=SERVER-FILE/
/category

root
appender-ref ref=SERVER-FILE/
/root
/log4j:configuration


AW: How to filter the unnecessary log messages

2009-03-09 Thread Bender Heri
Either you strongly restrict the level of your root logger (e.g. ERROR) and 
declare a logger for your own classes with DEBUG level:

logger name=my.company additivity=false
level value=DEBUG/
 (appender-refs)
/logger
root
level value=ERROR/
 (appender-refs)
/root

Or you go the other way round, you restrict the library loggers strongly and 
configure the root logger to DEBUG:

logger name=org.springframework additivity=false
level value=WARN/
 (appender-refs)
/logger

logger name=org.hibernate additivity=false
level value=ERROR/
 (appender-refs)
/logger

logger name=org.hibernate additivity=false
level value=info/
 (appender-refs)
/logger

logger name=org additivity=false
level value=info/
 (appender-refs)
/logger

root
level value=DEBUG/
 (appender-refs)
/root

messages - Bayesian Filter detected spam

Hi all,

 I have implemented log4j and it works well. But the application had
Struts2, Spring,Hibernate,Tiles and other open source components. When I
start the tomcat or run the application the log file gets filled with so
many logs which are there inside jars of these frameworks. Can any one
please let me know how can I filter out those messages and enable only
application specific messages to appear in the log file. Please find the log
pasted below.

 

Thanks

Harry

Using log4j.properties to handle other properties

2009-03-09 Thread Christophe Elek

My developers are using System Properties to enable certain trace options
(like collecting statistics)
Is there a way I could define such property in the log4j.properties instead
so we keep trace/log options and metadata together ?

So my developers will do
aLog 4J object.getProperty('my property') instead of System.getProperty()
?

I assume you mean following (pseudo code)

If SystempropertyCollectStatistics==True
myLog.info( ... )

The correct way would be to use a special named logger and declare it in the 
propeties file with the desired log level.

Possible code in class with statstic logging needs:

 Logger myNormalDebugLogger = Logger.getLogger( CLASS );
 Logger myStatisticLogger = Logger.getLogger( StatisticLogger )
 static int count = 0;

void foo()
   myNormalDebugLogger.debug( entering foo()... );
   count++;
   if myStatisticLogger.isInfoEnabled()
  myStatisticLogger.info( foo() called now  + count +  times );
   ...

Within the configuration file you can enable the statistics by setting the 
level of StatisticLogger to INFO, disable it by setting it to WARN or OFF.
