1. Re: Logging
jmesnil Dec 16, 2009 5:49 AM (in response to m.anderson)HornetQ provides metrics on the queue to see if messages are sent/received but does not log them.
Logging each message sent and receive at a TRACE level would generate a huge number of logs which may not be suitable for production environment. It'd also impact performance as each message sent/received will be slowed down by writing to the log file.
But your point is valid for dev and staging environments.
This is something that can be considered for 2.1, do not hesitate to add a JIRA issue.

2. Re: Logging
m.anderson Dec 16, 2009 6:05 AM (in response to jmesnil)After I posted this thread I noticed that there was a JIRA issue filed for adding TRACE logging.
I take you point about TRACE logging being too much for a production environment (I have experienced this!!) however some kind of debug logging could still be useful in a production environment to see what is going on. I was quite surprised when I plugged HornetQ into my application, turned on logging and seen that there was no output whatsoever after startup.
When you talk about metrics I take it you mean those that are available via JMX? I have looked at what is exposed via JMX and it is useful but doesn't help if, say, the application goes out of memory and then crashes. In this case you only have the log files to help debug the problem.
I guess if I decided to take my usage of HornetQ further I could consider what logging I may find useful and file appropriate JIRA issues/supply patches.
