Logs are written twice in Wildfly 8

[arkadyz]

Hello,

My version in Wildfly 8.2.0

I have the following logging definition:

            <logger category="a.b.c.d">

                <level name="DEBUG"/>

                <handlers>

                    <handler name="LogFile"/>

                </handlers>

            </logger>

            <root-logger>

                <level name="DEBUG"/>

                <handlers>

                    <handler name="LogFile"/>

                </handlers>

            </root-logger>

Suppose my message is from "a.b.c.d" category. I expect the handler "LogFile" will be applied only once, but I see it is applied twice, so log file contains the same message twice.

Is there a way to configure Wildfly to not to apply the same handler twice ?

Thank you in advance.

Did you try setting   [ use-parent-handlers="false" ] to see how it goes:

            <logger category="a.b.c.d"  use-parent-handlers="false">    <!-- Notice -->
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
                <handlers>
                    <handler name="LogFile"/>
                </handlers>
            </logger>

The use-parent-handlers attribute is a boolean attribute to determine whether or not parent loggers should also process the log message.

Hello Jay,

Thanks for quick reply. This is a really good idea. But I have a concern here. Suppose we have following situation:

            <logger category="a.b.c.d">

                <level name="DEBUG"/>

                <handlers>

                    <handler name="LogFile"/>

                </handlers>

            </logger>

            <logger category="a.b.c">

                <level name="DEBUG"/>

                <handlers>

                    <handler name="LogFile"/>

                    <handler name="LogFile1"/>

                </handlers>

            </logger>

If the message is from category "a.b.c.d" we would like it is treated also by LogFile1, we just not want this message is treated twice by LogFile. If I am not mistaken, it is supported by log4j. Is there a way to do it in Wildfly logging framework ?

Thanks,

Arkady
