Dear Tomcat community, We at CloudBees implemented a SyslogAccessLogValve that outputs the access logs to a syslog server.
The support of Syslog is more detailed that what we can usually find in java logging libraries as it allows to * configure all the syslog header fields: appName, source hostname, severity and facility * format syslog message according the RFC 3164 and to RFC 5424 Would the Tomcat project be interested in such contribution? This contribution is composed of: * An object oriented model of a syslog message * A Syslog UDP message sender * Refactoring: split of the existing AccessLogValve into ** AbstractAccessLogValve: the logic to format the access logs ** AccessLogValve: the logic to write the access logs in rolling file * The SyslogAccessLogValve that extends the new AbstractAccessLogValve and relies on the Syslog message sender It could be interesting in the future to: * add a Syslog TCP sender (RFC 6587) and a TCP-TLS sender (RFC 5425) * add a Syslog appender to java.util.logging The existing code is available here, I have made few enhancement to the code that would go inside Tomcat: https://github.com/CloudBees-community/cloudbees-web-container-extras/tree/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/syslog https://github.com/CloudBees-community/cloudbees-web-container-extras/tree/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/tomcat/valves Please let me know if this contribution could interest the community, I would then be happy to send a pull request if this format is accepted or to submit a diff on bugzilla. Cyrille PS: I already signed an ICLA when I was a committer on Apache CXF and I already contributed to Apache Tomcat (RemoteIpValve, RemoteIpFilter and ExpiresFilter) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
