Cannot get Security logging

[markboletti]

Hi all !

I have a JBoss 5 application which does some security logging using the following loggers:

   <logger category="org.jboss.security">

     <level name="TRACE" />

   </logger>

   <logger category="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security">

     <level name="TRACE" />

   </logger>

   <logger category="org.apache.catalina">

     <level name="TRACE" />

   </logger>

I've tried it adding them into standalone.xml, however it does not seem to produce logging. Do I need to trace different packages to get security logs ?

Thanks

Mark

If you look at the CONSOLE and FILE configuration there is also a restriction to INFO: -

<level name="INFO"/>

This will also need changing in either CONSOLE or FILE to allow the TRACE messages to be logged.

Hi Darran,

thanks for your reply. Please correct me if I'm wrong but changing CONSOLE or FILE log level to TRACE would cause to increase log verbosity (unless defined with a logger) to TRACE, right ? I'd like just to increase logging for that package. Is there a way to do it ? Thanks in advance

You are almost correct, however the root logger has already a level defined of INFO which covers all categories except those specifically listed.

<root-logger>

  <level name="INFO"/>

  <handlers>

    <handler name="CONSOLE"/>

    <handler name="FILE"/>

  </handlers>

</root-logger>

Thanks Darren, now it works correctly.
