Hi Aaron, 'I built into my logger the ability to get a list of all logs ( categories ) and modify the log level of each during runtime, so I can turn on debugging and debug in a production environment if necessary, without restarting the servers and changing a config file. ' How it is possible? without changing even config file? Give more idea about mgmt console? Here I am a user of log4j. Here we are using it in a e-com softare. but my problem is that this config properties are reading when the server is up. So if i wants to change the config setting, I will make effect only when i restart the server.Without restarting , Is there any possibility to make it effect. Can u give more idea about it. Thanx in advance, Shibu -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Aaron Smuts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 2:04 AM An: LOG4J Users Mailing List Betreff: modifying log levels through a management console It would be nice to be able to modify log levels during run time. I built into my logger the ability to get a list of all logs ( categories ) and modify the log level of each during runtime, so I can turn on debugging and debug in a production environment if necessary, without restarting the servers and changing a config file. It might be nice to have a servlet interface to adjust the log levels. It can save you in a tight spot. I'm trying to move to log4j from my logging system ( complete with viewers and a level management system ). In sub projects ( the caching system ) I'm using log4j. I'd like to have someone on my team build the viewer and the console, if possible, for log4j.
