Or any other logging framework support it?

Log4J 1.2 Micrometer metrics

It seems that micrometer metrics is available only for Log4J2 and Logback.
But there is not metrics for Log4J 1.2.
Is there any simple way to get log4j 1.2 integration for micrometer metrics?
You could create an appender that records counts.
DropWizard has an InstrumentedAppender that you could mimic. Here is a usage example: https://metrics.dropwizard.io/4.1.2/manual/log4j.html

ELK apache spark application log

How to configure Filebeats to read apache spark application log. The logs generated is moved to history server, in non readable format as soon as the application is completed. What is the ideal way here.
You can configure Spark logging via Log4J. For a discussion around some edge cases for setting up log4j configuration, see SPARK-16784, but if you simply want to collect all application logs coming off a cluster (vs logs per job) you shouldn't need to consider any of that.
On the ELK side, there was a log4j input plugin for logstash, but it is deprecated.
Thankfully, the documentation for the deprecated plugin describes how to configure log4j to write data locally for FileBeat, and how to set up FileBeat to consume this data and sent it to a Logstash instance. This is now the recommended way to ship logs from systems using log4j.
So in summary, the recommended way to get logs from Spark into ELK is:
Set the Log4J configuration for your Spark cluster to write to local files
Run FileBeat to consume from these files and sent to logstash
Logstash will send data into Elastisearch
You can search through your indexed log data using Kibana

How to stop Hazelcast from automatic console print?

I'm using Hazelcast as a library in my program.
I don't want Hazelcast to print all the stuff to console while adding a node or creating newHazelcastInstance.
It should just add node in background without printing? How can I achieve this?
It depends on your logging framework you are using, or how you have configured Hazelcast.
For example if you are using log4j and have selected the log4j logger in Hazelcast, then you could filter out the Hazelcast log entries.

how to inserts the log4j logs into cassandra

I was trying to insert log4j logs from a Java application into Cassandra. I got the configuration for the log4j properties from http://www.datastax.com/docs/datastax_enterprise2.0/logging/log4j_logging.
I was not able to get the com.datastax.logging.appender.CassandraAppender. Can anybody let me know where to get the Cassandra appender, or is there a way we can integrate log4j and Cassandra?
The log4j appender is part of DataStax Enterprise; it's not included in Apache Cassandra by itself. If you're already using DataStax Enterprise, make sure that you've added path/to/dse/resources/log4j-appender/lib/ to the classpath for your application.

Is there any open source program that integrates logs in log4j format in a distributed system to a Cassandra DB?

I have a distributed system that all of them use lig4j for log system events.I have a Cassandra cluster that I want to put all of my logs in log4j format in that.
Is there any open source program that integrates logs in log4j format to my Cassandra cluster?
A good choice would be Apache Flume. https://cwiki.apache.org/FLUME/
Flume is distributed log collection engine. It has built in support for log4j: http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/3/flume/UserGuide/#_logging_via_log4j_directly
There is also a plugin for using cassandra as the log storage mechanism instead of hdfs: https://github.com/thobbs/flume-cassandra-plugin
I started an open source project with a custom log4j appender sending the message to a apache cassandra cluster. Project site is: https://github.com/rviper/cassandra-log4j
