trace logging for jboss

[btogo]

I am trying to retrieve the JBOSS Connection pool stats by enabling the log4j TRACE level. This is how I do it:

in the log4j.xml file:

category
name="org.jboss...JBossManagedConnectionPoll"
priority value="TRACE" class="org.jboss.logging.XLevel"
appender-ref ref="JBOSSLOG"
category

the JBOSSLOG appender is referencing an output file where I can see only DEBUG messages.

Does someone know why the TRACE information is not coming out?

thanks for your help.

You either have a typo (Pool not Poll) or some other configuration issue in your log4j.xml file.

It should be

 <category name="org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool">
 <priority value="TRACE" class="org.jboss.logging.XLevel"/>
 </category>

Thanks for your reply. But it is a typo in my posting. I do have Pool in the log4j.xml file.

Anything else you may think of?

Thanks,

Can I see the definition of

JBOSSLOG

[btogo]

Sure.

<appender name="JBOSSLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
 <param name="File" value="/home/eta/server/log/connection-jboss.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="true"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="TRACE"/>

 <!-- Rollover at midnight each day or per size -->
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
 <!-- <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10MB"/> -->
 <!-- <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5"/> -->

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
 </layout>
 </appender>

I have a similar problem since there are 2 different log4j.jars distributed with jboss (4.0.5).

The log4j-boot.jar in the "lib" folder contains a Logger, that is able to log "TRACE"-Messages.

The log4j.jar in the "server/**/lib" folders contains a Logger, that is NOT able to log "TRACE"-Messages.

Any attempts to replace the log4j-distributions in the "server/**/lib" folders ended in a log4j configuration error (could not parse url .../log4j.xml).

Has anyone an idea howto replace the log4j.jars?

Remove the Threshold attribute from the appender config completely. I had the same problem, seems to be a mismatch between the int values of TRACE in log4j and JBoss.
