The Apache [1] Log4j is a very useful logging mechanism for Java. The code is here gives explanation to more complex usage based on the KISS principle.

Examples

top The code presented here are examples of working applications.

  • Multiple loggers. Duplicates lines are the major problem. To avoid these duplicates the trick is to leave the first item on the rootlogger blank. To set the loggers use the Threshold switch. In the given example the first logger uses the console appender and the second uses a file appender.


Multiple logger 1

# Setting up the different loggers.
log4j.rootLogger=,MONITOR, LOGFILE

# Appender setup A1 = MONITOR
log4j.appender.MONITOR=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.MONITOR.Threshold=INFO
#log4j.appender.MONITOR.File=quiet.log

# Appender setup A2 = LOGFILE
log4j.appender.LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.File=/usr/home/props/logs/StockLogger.log

# MONITOR Uses Pattern Layout
log4j.appender.MONITOR.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MONITOR.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n

# LOGFILE uses Pattern Layout
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

Multiple logger 2

# Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A100.
log4j.rootLogger=,C200,F200

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# C200 is set to ConsoleAppender (Output is visible in the Console)
log4j.appender.C200=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.C200.Threshold=INFO

# C200 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.C200.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.C200.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t-%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS}] (%25F:%L) - %m%n

#  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# F200 is set to be a FileAppender (Output only visible in logfile)
log4j.appender.F200=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.F200.Threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.F200.File=/usr/home/props/logs/SASComp.log

# F200 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.F200.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.F200.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t-%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS}] (%F:%L) - %m%n
