Logging Question

[rbreault73]

I have a couple questions about logging in Jboss 5.1.0 I have been searching the web like crazy to find an example or to know if it is possible.

I understand that I can modify my jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/server.xml file with the following to grab the jsp page response time.

            <!-- Access logger -->

            <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"

                prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".log"

                pattern="%t %U %s %D" directory="${jboss.server.log.dir}"

                resolveHosts="false" />

My question is this the only way to grab this information as we also use log4j to grab everything else in the server.log. I will be configuring log4j to rsyslod so that we can centralize our logs and have not seen any info on how I can also send the access.log to the rsyslog or if I can have log4j actual capture this as well in the server.log.

In my log4j I have the following setup and if there is a pattern I can add or pass to capture the page load time that would be awesome.

   <!-- A time/date based rolling appender -->

   <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">

      <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>

      <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/>

      <param name="Append" value="true"/>

      <!-- In AS 5.0.x the server log threshold was set by a system

           property. In 5.1 and later we are instead using the system

           property to set the priority on the root logger (see <root/> below)

      <param name="Threshold" value="${jboss.server.log.threshold}"/>

      -->

      <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->

      <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

      <!-- Rollover at the top of each hour

      <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>

      -->

      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

         <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] (Thread) Message\n -->

         <!-- <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p %X{profileId} %X{orderId} %X{sessionId} %X{requestURIWithQueryString} [%c{1}] %m%n"/> -->

         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}] %X{profileId} %X{orderId} %X{sessionId} %X{requestURIWithQueryString} (%t) %m%n"/>

      </layout>

   </appender>

I know the convention on linux is to use the syslog server but where I work they have implemented rsyslog instead but I am guessing I can use the same config example below to configure that correct?

   <!-- Syslog events

   <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>

Thanks in advance for any advice.
