How to redirect jboss console message to /var/log/syslog file

[ashishnegitech]

Hello All,

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and jboss AS 5. My objective is to redirect server console message to syslog.

I tried uncommenting

<appender name="SYSLOG" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender">
     <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
     <param name="Facility" value="LOCAL7"/>
     <param name="FacilityPrinting" value="true"/>
     <param name="SyslogHost" value="localhost"/>
     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
       <param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/>
     </layout>
   </appender>

in jboss-log4j.xml file.

But i am not able to see my server startup message logged in /var/log/syslog.

Do i need to make other configurations.

I added

local7.*                /var/log/syslog

in - /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf file.

I restarted the syslogd daemon and started the jboss and expecting the console message generated by the jboss AS to syslog. But didn't find the result.

Am i expecting right thing?

Looking forward for support

Have you added the "SYSLOG" appender to the "<root>" tag in jboss-log4j.xml?

Hello Anders,

You will find a appender SYSLOG as comment within the jboss-log4j.xml file which you can use (remove comment ;-)
