Look in the deploy directory at jboss-logging.xml.

Thanks a lot.

Now logging works as before.

But unfortuantely I have two more questions related to logging.

First one :

Is it possible to put logging configuration file lets say logging.properties into my ear or do I have to change global jboss-logging.xml ?

Second one:

Is it possible to append all logs related to my ear application to my ear specific file appender.

Something like server.log but only with logs comming from my application.

Right now I have configured such a appender but it collects only logs from classess written by me, of course I can do something like this :

     <logger category="foo.bar">
          <level name="DEBUG" />
          <handlers>
               <handler-ref name="MYFILEHANDLER"/>
          </handlers>
     </logger>

For all log categories which I'm interested in but it still don't solve the problem. Because myfilehandler collects the also the coming from different applications with the same category.

It would be nice to have a log file similar to server.log but with entries filtered only to the one application.

Thanks in advance.

You can put a jboss-logging.xml into your deployment to get customized per-deployment logging.

Yes and no. The capability is there, but it's not fully tested in M2 yet. You can give it a shot though. Create a jboss-logging.xml descriptor for your application, and specify a new log context like this:

<jboss-logging xmlns="urn:jboss:logging:6.0" context="MyAppLoggingContext">
    <define-context name="MyAppLoggingContext"/>

    <!-- Define a handler -->

    <periodic-rotating-file-handler
            file-name="/your/log/file"
            name="MyHandler"
            autoFlush="true"
            append="true"
            suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd">
      <error-manager>
         <only-once/>
      </error-manager>

      <formatter>
         <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c] (%t) %m%n"/>
      </formatter>
    </periodic-rotating-file-handler>

    <!-- Now you can define your own root logger... -->

    <root-logger>
      <level name="INFO"/>
      <handlers>
         <handler-ref name="MyHandler"/>
      </handlers>
   </root-logger>
</jboss-logging>

That should be about it.

Hi,

I do have a question about logging (or more precisely sending SNMP traps or syslog) in Jboss 6.0 M2.

I uncommented part related to SNMP in jboss-logging.xml file. I also put “<handler-ref name="TRAP_LOG"/>” into “logger” section.

Unfortunately I got something like this (just after I save the file, without invoking a servlet):

23:08:03,515 INFO [service] Restored bootstrap log handlers

23:08:03,562 INFO [service] Removing bootstrap log handlers

Hi

Right now I'm using the 6.M3 version of the JBoss.

I have followed your advice but unfortunately I get the following exception :

I put the jboss-logging.xml into the META-INF of the application ear. I think this is the right place. Here is the content of the jboss-logging.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<logging xmlns="urn:jboss:logging:6.0" context="smartoffice">

     <define-context name="smartoffice" />

     <periodic-rotating-file-handler
          file-name="${jboss.server.log.dir}/smart.log" name="smartoffice"
          autoFlush="true" append="true" suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd">
          <error-manager>
               <only-once />
          </error-manager>

          <formatter>
               <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n" />
          </formatter>
     </periodic-rotating-file-handler>

     <root-logger>
          <level name="FINE" />
          <handlers>
               <handler-ref name="smartoffice" />
          </handlers>
     </root-logger>
     
</logging>

That's interesting that when I remove context="smartoffice" attribute, I get some logs into the smart.log file but the console log handler stops working with the following exception :

This is the last log message I get on the console.

On the other hand when I use jboss-logging instead of logging tag in the configuration file (as you suggested) I get following exception :

6. Re: Configuring logging on jboss 6.0 M2

pgmjsd Jun 15, 2011 11:54 AM (in response to misqu23)

I've tried this approach in JBoss AS 6.0.0.Final, and it seems to work... more or less.

Copied {server.home}/deploy/jboss-logging.xml to META-INF/jboss-logging.xml in the EAR. I'm using the maven-ear-plugin, so the file actually goes in my-ear/src/main/application/META-INF/jboss-logging.xml.
Edited the file, added <define-context name="myapp"/> right after the <logging> element.
Removed the console handler and references.
Changed the file name in the periodic-rotating-file-handler to ${jboss.server.log.dir}/myapp.log
Deployed the app... there are a few DEBUG level messages in myapp.log about redefining system:org.apache, but they don't seem to be stopping the deployment.

So basically, everything worked.

Here's what I noticed, FWIW:

<logging ... context="myapp"> did not work. Lots of exceptions.
The version of async handler that comes with JBoss AS 6.0.0.Final blows up. Either replace jboss-logmanager.jar with a newer build or don't use it.
The custom log file isn't created right away, even though the console output shows that it found the jboss-logging.xml resource. That's not entirely unexpected, but it's a little disconcerting if you are impatient.
