Hi, I agree with Lukasz: I have no problem to document and improve the way to include such appender in custom distribution, but I don't think it's a good idea to have it shipped by default. I could also be a Decanter new collector/appender (as we already have a log collector/appender). Reg

Hi Valdimir, by feature, I meant "a simple way" to provide/add it (not necessary a Karaf feature) ;) Probably the easier way now is to document how to do it in the dev guide with an associated sample. Regards JB On 03/19/2016 03:03 PM, Владимир Коньков wrote: Hi Jean-Baptiste! We activel

Hey Vladimir, While I see reasoning to have this feature, I must say it is not a core requirement to all users. If we would decide to have such appender we easily can run into situation that everyone will want to have it’s own appender and it’s dependencies installed/available by default in Kara

Hi Vladimir anyway, do you already have GELF in your custom distribution ? If so, I would love to document it for other potential users, or even propose an optional feature to add this. WDYT ? Regards JB On 03/17/2016 06:33 AM, Владимир Коньков wrote: Hi there! Lukasz, Jean-Baptiste, thanx

Hi As of version 4.1 Karaf will use Log4J 2 as logging backend (thanx, Guillaume). It’s very good news, because it greatly simplify configuration of robust production logging - compression, flexible rotation rules, async, fallback logging. All this features comes out of the box with Log4J 2. No
