Bundle specific log4j.properties

[gsehgal1]

Is there a way to have bundle specific log4j.properties. I have a bundle which needs to log a lot of data and therefore I plan to use RollingFileAppender and write to a specific location. Though when I place the log4j.properties inside the bundle and use the PropertiesConfigurator to load the properties it does not seem to load the log4j.properties.

Is there any ways in JBoss Fuse; such that we can use bundle specific log4j.properties.

Cheers!

Hi,

You shouldn't have specific log4j.properties for each bundle.

All logging stuff should be delegated to pax-logging which is a OSGi loging service, that said,  there's a central file $FUSE_ESB/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg  where you can configre the logging stuff.

In this file you can define a customer file appender which could be used for your specific bundles, something like

# Customter File appender

log4j.appender.myout=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.myout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.myout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %X{bundle.id} - %X{bundle.name} - %X{bundle.version} | %m%n

log4j.appender.myout.file=${karaf.data}/log/my.log  #or anywhere you want

log4j.appender.myout.append=true

log4j.appender.myout.maxFileSize=1MB

log4j.appender.myout.maxBackupIndex=10

then add

log4j.category.package_for_your_specific_bundle=INFO, myout

And there is a related discussion[1], you may wanna take a look to get more details.

Hi,

I'm trying to find some information to configure org.ops4j.logging.cfg on Jboss Fuse 6.1 to send container logs to my remote logstash server , but I found only some forum that talk about this.

One is http://joelholder.com/author/jclosure/ but in this example the logstash agent is locally so they will use local file as input.

So reading in some post I've found this configuration

log4j.appender.server=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender

log4j.appender.server.Port=5545

log4j.appender.server.RemoteHost=x.x.x.x

log4j.appender.server.ReconnectionDelay=10000

and on logstash config file this section

input {

   tcp {

        type => log4j

        port => 5545

   }

}

But after restarting the container I didn't found the socket opened to remoteHost :-(

Could someone help me?

Regards,

Roberto
