Separate Log Files Per Bundle

[eric.bender]

Hello all, 

As more developer start working within the servicemix framework, I am trying to setup so that each deployed application bundle writes to it's own log file.

I tried what is listed at http://fusenotes.blogspot.com/2011/02/logging-per-application-in-servicemix-4.html and that seems to make the system write to different log files based on the bundle, but in our routes the use of the log EIP  still writes to the servicemix.log. 

What is the best method to have a custom bundle write to it's own log file?

My etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg looks like this

# Root logger
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, out, sift, osgi:VmLogAppender
log4j.throwableRenderer=org.apache.log4j.OsgiThrowableRenderer

log4j.appender.sift.key=app.name
log4j.appender.sift.appender.file=${karaf.data}/log/$\\{app.name\\}.log

# CONSOLE appender not used by default
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %X{bundle.id} - %X{bundle.name} - %X{bundle.version} | %m%n

# File appender
log4j.appender.out=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.out.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.out.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %X{bundle.id} - %X{bundle.name} - %X{bundle.version} | %m%n
log4j.appender.out.file=${karaf.data}/log/servicemix.log
log4j.appender.out.append=true
log4j.appender.out.maxFileSize=100MB
log4j.appender.out.maxBackupIndex=10

# Sift appender
log4j.appender.sift=org.apache.log4j.sift.MDCSiftingAppender
log4j.appender.sift.key=bundle.name
log4j.appender.sift.default=servicemix
log4j.appender.sift.appender=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.sift.appender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.sift.appender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %m%n
log4j.appender.sift.appender.file=${karaf.data}/log/$\\{bundle.name\\}.log
log4j.appender.sift.appender.append=true
log4j.logger.org.apache.camel = INFO

and I am using a simple spring method invoc in my beans.xml

     <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
          <property name="targetClass">
               <value>org.slf4j.MDC</value>
          </property>
          <property name="targetMethod">
               <value>put</value>
          </property>
          <property name="arguments">
               <list>
                    <value>app.name</value>
                    <value>MDM-RealTime</value>
               </list>
          </property>     
     </bean>

or tweak your log configuration to include the route ids. Or something like that.
