JBoss7 CLI logging setup

[r1em]

I would like to setup JBoss7 log setup with the CLI interface (jboss-admin).

Unfortunatly it fails with an error:

I use this command:

/profile=default/subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=COA:add(append=false,autoflush=true,encoding="UTF-8",file={path="coa.log", relative-to="/tmp"},formatter="HHmmss",level="INFO",suffix="yyyyMMdd")

{

    "outcome" => "failed",

    "result" => {"server-groups" => [("main-server-group" => {"master" => {

    "host" => "master",

    "response" => {

        "outcome" => "failed",

        "failure-description" => "Operation handler failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: newValue is null",

        "rolled-back" => true

    }

}})]},

    "failure-description" => "Operation failed or was rolled back on all servers.",

    "rolled-back" => true

}

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Trying using => instead of = in the file={...} section:

/profile=default/subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=COA:add(append=false,autoflush=true,encoding="UTF-8",file={path=>"coa.log", relative-to=>"/tmp"},formatter="HHmmss",level="INFO",suffix="yyyyMMdd")

I'm not sure why the syntax varies inside {}, but it does.

Chris is right. Complex values are accepted in the DMR format which is very unfriendly for typing.

There already is an issue for this https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2088

It's kind of not a bug, since it was consciously implemented that way and it's the native format of DMR but I also can't say that it's right.
