Thanks very much for your time.
Your explanation makes things clearer.

 The Tomcat JULI logging is an implementation of java.util.logging (aka
 JUL), which  documentation is here,

 http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html#package_description

 http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/Level.html

 http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/logging/index.html

 etc.


 To make a brief summary, there are two levels where log messages are
 filtered:
 a) at the category (aka logger) level

 If level of a category (if not specified then its parent level is
 taken) does not match the message, it will be rejected by the logging
 system and will not be processed at all.


 That is what these lines are for:
  org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level
  org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener.level

 The categories form a hierarchy,  and the default level is specified by
 .level= INFO


 Note, that the
 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost]
 category is for the messages logged through  Servlet.log()  API calls,
 which I think is rare.

 Usually applications use commons-logging calls and their category
 names are different.  Thus the defaults (.level=INFO) apply to them.

 There is no .level= INFO in Tomcat's logging.properties because the
 defaults are provided by JRE through its logging.properties.  But you
 can always add such a line by yourself, e.g.

 .level= FINEST
 will cause a lot of messages being processed

 b) when writing the message out (aka handler) level

 If handler level does not match the message, it will be skipped (but
 may be printed by other handlers).

 categoryname.handler  setting attaches handlers to a category.


 I think you missed a).

 By the way,
  .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
  java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

 I hope that those lines were wrapped by the mailing software. You
 cannot wrap lines in a properties file like that (though you can if
 you end previous line with '\'). see java.util.Properties JavaDoc.


 Best regards,
 Konstantin Kolinko

Help with Log Level in Tomcat 6 Logging

2010-06-17 Thread Jonathan Jackson 
Hello,


Im a newbie to Tomcat logging.
Here is the logging.properties of my Catalina installation:
---
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler


# Handler specific properties.
# Describes specific configuration info for Handlers.


1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = catalina.

2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = localhost.

3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = manager.

4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = host-manager.

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter =
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter



# Facility specific properties.
# Provides extra control for each logger.


org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].handlers =
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/manager].level
= INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/manager].handlers
= 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/host-manager].level
= INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/host-manager].handlers
= 4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

# For example, set the com.xyz.foo logger to only log SEVERE
# messages:
#org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.level = FINE
#org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.level = FINE
#org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase.level = FINE
#org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener.level=FINE


The problem I have is that in my daily rolling catalina-[data].out I only
get SEVERE level messages.
Given the above configuration, my understanding from reading this (
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html) is that FINE for the
FileHandler would log everything above ie. FINE,CONFIG,INFO,WARNINGBut
Im only getting SEVERE written to my daily rolling logfile.

Im not sure how to change this behaviour even after reading through -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html -
and any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
Jon
