RE: Turning off logging in properties file

In my opionion, an ERROR message should NEVER be disabled. I thought that was the nature of an ERROR. Setting priority to error should effectively remove all but the most extreme (fatal) messages. -Original Message- From: Jamie Tsao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2

Log Analyzers?

Hi, I've been using log4j with Jboss for the past couple months now with great success. I'm currently looking for any log analyzers that would be able to parse and analyze the logs created by log4j. Thanks, Robert - To unsub

Turning off logging in properties file

Hi, I was evaluating log4j as a possible logging package, and I had a couple of questions: 1) How do you turn off logging completely in the properties file ? I know you can turn off logging during runtime by calling PropertyConfigurator.disableAll() , but how can you do so in the properties

Re: Digitally signing log entries

Yogi, I had done something similar with my own logging framework, but used an RSA key pair and javax.security.Signature to essentially get a 'true' digital signature, as opposed to a MAC. But I agree that in many situations (my own included) a MAC is better for non-repudiation purposes that don'

Re: DailyRollingFileAppender

Rick, Your description is correct. I also agree that it is not the correct or most suitable behavior. I'll fix this. Thanks for letting us know. Ceki At 15:24 06.06.2001 -0500, you wrote: >It appears that the DailyRollingFileAppender does not roll on the specified >period unless it is running

DailyRollingFileAppender

It appears that the DailyRollingFileAppender does not roll on the specified period unless it is running? By this I mean if you were rolling daily at midnight, if you stop the app before midnight then start it after midnight DailyRollingFileAppender does not created a new file. I am using log4j1.1.

Calling configurators after Log4j has been configured

I would like to use a basic standard init file to startup log4j. It will be via the XML style so that I can configure async appenders (a must have for production)... Then I would like individual components of my system to set their own log4j properties (using xml and/or properties files). This is

Title: SMTPAppender Hello folks, I´m using log4j-1.1.1 and I tried to use the SMTPAppender to send a logged file to a specified Email-Adress. Can somebody give me a hint or link how a properties file has to look like to manage this step... thanks a lot Nik

DOMConfigurator & Tomcat - File location ?

What's with 1.1.1?

We've tried updating from 1.0.4 to 1.1.1 but can't get it started since log4j.properties refuses to be found, whatever the configuration. After switching back to 1.0.4 everything started just fine. I've seen people on the list having problems with Tomcat, we're using Orion, so it seems application

RE: Using log4j in custom tag libraries

Hey Doug, I did the same for WebLogic. If you want to use basic configuration, this is fine. If you want to do more, like call configureAndWatch to see if the log4j.properties changes, then you have to do more. Ceki suggested using a servlet that is loaded when the appserver comes up. This servle

RE: FileWatchdog and multiple threads

Could you clarify a bit. I am not quite sure what to make of your answer, "Nope" and "Log4j is thread safe" seem a bit contradictory. "Nope" could mean problems are possible and "thread safe" could mean they are not. I suppose that being thread safe (which I was aware of) does not preclude probl

Digitally signing log entries

Hi all, I'm trying to append a digital signature of the (log message + timestamp) to the log entry. For this I'm writing a PatternConverter for a character...say 's'. This converter uses javax.crypto.Mac and java.security.KeyStore to generate a digital signature with either MD5 or SHA1. Am I on
