Custom appender question about getRenderedMessage()

2007-03-22 Thread Bret Schuhmacher
Hi, I'm trying to extend RollingFileAppender. I want to manipulate the *complete* message that's logged by prepending something to the message just before it's dumped into the file. My custom class's append() tries to create a new LoggingEvent from the given LoggingEvent, prepending my text to t

What if you had loggers named normally. Then to create your view, create a separate appender and attach it to the loggers for that view. i.e. Attach a DAOAppender to all DAO loggers and then you can change the logging for that view by setting the threshold on DAOAppender. That would tend to put v

What if you had multiple calls to getLogger with the same logger name, but different sets of "domain" names? An unlikely scenario if you were using class name based loggers, but could be common if you used other naming strategies. I can't see a way around that one, but most people use no

I don't use the XML appender for log4j but that doesn't look like it is from log4j. On 3/22/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: James, Thanks for your response. The log file looks like this:

A few lines of the log file might be helpful. BTW no included log4j appenders create files with random names so if log4j is creating that it is using a custom appender. On 3/22/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, My name is Jim McEvoy and I am a recent addition to the log4j

I do NOT blame log4j, i just wanted to share my observations and confront my suspicion with you guys. I think we got to the same conclussion actually. Though, i have not idea how this (potential) caching would work on Linux/Unix systems (Red Hat, Ubuntu and Solaris do the same thing with those

if i understand you correctly and the memory is reclaimed once you delete the logs, then it is no "leak" (=bad, bad, bad!) but might be "caching" (=good,good,good!). even if this caching might be not desirable in some situations ;-) what i want to say is that i would check if jvn/RH is to be bl

Thanx Andrew anyway. I got your point. There may be something wrong between JVN and OS. However, as i said i would not blame JVM for any leaks (especially that in a meantime we've change JVM version couple of times). -Original Message- From: Andrew Marlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Our log4j configuration. RollingFileAppenders or FileAppender (no matter what sort of appender we use, symptoms are the same). Rolling appender 3 files, 1GB each. Every appender work i asynchronous mode (buffer is set to 1), but it is worth mentioning that when we've configured synchronous app
