I have the following log4j.xml configuration:
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name = "CONSOLE" class = "org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name = "Target" value = "System.out"/>
<param name = "Threshold" value = "DEBUG"/>
</appender>
<category name = "com.foo">
<appender-ref ref = "CONSOLE"/>
</category>
</log4j:configuration>
This displays every log in com.foo.* . I want to disable logging in com.foo.bar.* . How do i do this.
By raising the threhold on the com.foo.bar logger:
<category name = "com.foo.bar">
<priority value="WARN"/>
</category>
This logger will be used in preference to the com.foo one, and has a higher threshold will only lets through WARN or higher.

I want to log nlog generated application logs in app service diagnostic blob [i.e, Application Logging (Blob)
] but only default logs are printed not the nlog based custom logs
but I can print Application Logging (Filesystem) when file target is added to nlog.config. The problem is only with blob.
nlog.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"

.Configure<AzureBlobLoggerOptions>(options =>
{
options.BlobName = "testlog.txt";
}))
.ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
{
webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
});
}
}
The Nlog based loggings are not logged in app service diagnostic blob, instead only default logging is printed.
Kindly help to resolve this issue.
Seems that System.Diagnostics.Trace-Target works best for ASP.NET-application and not for ASP.NetCore applications in Azure.
When using AddAzureWebAppDiagnostics it will redirect all output written to Microsoft ILogger to FileSystem or Blob. But any output written to pure NLog Logger-objects will not be redirected.
Maybe the solution is to setup a NLog FileTarget writing to the HOME-directory:
<nlog>
<targets async="true">
<!-- Environment Variable %HOME% matches D:/Home -->
<target type="file" name="appfile" filename="${environment:HOME:cached=true}/logfiles/application/app-${shortdate}-${processid}.txt" />
</targets>
<rules>
<logger name="*" minLevel="Debug" writeTo="appFile" />
</rules>
</nlog>

For including Blob-output then take a look at NLog.Extensions.AzureBlobStorage
Alternative to Blob-output could be ApplicationInsights but it might have different pricing.
I have a bunch of classes in com.example. I want my logfile to capture debug logging and my console to capture info only.
I am using log4j2.
Here is my log4j2.properties file.
name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = logs
# configure both the appenders
# CONSOLE APPENDER
appender.console.type = console
appender.console.name = consoleAppender
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
# LOGFILE appender
appender.logfile.type = File
appender.logfile.name = logfileAppender
appender.logfile.fileName=extract.log
appender.logfile.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.logfile.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
logger.example.name = com.example
logger.example.level = debug
logger.example.additivity = true
logger.example.appenderRef.logfile.ref = logfileAppender
logger.example.appenderRef.console.ref = consoleAppender
# configure the loggers, starting from the root logger.
rootLogger.level = info
Which logs to debug at both.
I try this...
name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = logs
# configure both the appenders
# CONSOLE APPENDER
appender.console.type = console
appender.console.name = consoleAppender
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
# LOGFILE appender
appender.logfile.type = File
appender.logfile.name = logfileAppender
appender.logfile.fileName=extract.log
appender.logfile.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.logfile.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
logger.example.name = com.example
logger.example.level = debug
logger.example.additivity = true
logger.example.appenderRef.logfile.ref = logfileAppender
logger.info.name = com.example
logger.info.level = info
logger.info.additivity = true
logger.info.appenderRef.console.ref = consoleAppender
# configure the loggers, starting from the root logger.
rootLogger.level = info
But then nothing logs to console.
any ideas?
I also faced with this problem and when I add
rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref=consoleAppender
rootLogger.appenderRef.rolling.ref=RollingFile
in the end of my log4j2. It's worked. The consoleAppender and RollingFile are the name of the appender.console.name and appender.rolling.name
This is the end of my log4j2 configure:
loggers=console, rolling
logger.console.name=console
logger.console.level=info
logger.console.additivity=false
logger.console.appenderRef.console.ref=consoleAppender
logger.rolling.name=com.viking
logger.rolling.level=info
logger.rolling.additivity=false
logger.rolling.appenderRef.rolling.ref=RollingFile
rootLogger.level=info
rootLogger.additivity=false
rootLogger.appenderRef.console.ref=consoleAppender
rootLogger.appenderRef.rolling.ref=RollingFile

I'm setting this config on startup of my application:
LogManager.Configuration = new XmlLoggingConfiguration(<path>, false);
And then I'm adding file targets to this configuration programmatically:
string
deviceTag = string.Concat("Device_", _id.ToString()),
loggerName = string.Concat("logger_", deviceTag);
LogManager.Configuration.AddRuleForAllLevels(
new FileTarget(string.Concat("target_", deviceTag))
{
FileName = string.Concat("Logs/", deviceTag, "/log.txt"),
ArchiveFileName = string.Concat("Logs/", deviceTag,
"/Archives/log.{#####}.txt")
}, loggerName);
_logger = LogManager.GetLogger(loggerName);
LogManager.ReconfigExistingLoggers();
Target is working, logs are written. But default-target-parameters from xml config are ignored.
This is a bug or a feature?
Or I do something wrong?
I'm currently using log4net and azure files to store my logs, works ace.
I've been searching and can't find any configuration to make the logger create files no bigger than a given KB size.
This is the configuration I have:
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<MaxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<MaximumFileSize value="10KB" />
<AzureStorageConnectionString value="connectiondatahere" />
<ShareName value="filelog" />
<Path value="processor" />
<File value="processor_{yyyy-MM-dd}.txt" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<ConversionPattern value="%date %-5level %logger %message%newline"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="AzureFileAppender"/>
</root>
I've tried a few variations of this configuration but no luck.
After reviewed the source code of log4net-appender-azurefilestorage, I found the log file size limit is not support in azure file appender currently. I suggest you rewrite the azure file appender by yourself and add the size limit feature.
Below are the steps to do it.
Step 1, Add a property named MaximumFileSize to AzureFileAppender class.
public int MaximumFileSize { get; set; }
Step 2, add the size limit code when appending log to file.
protected override void Append(LoggingEvent loggingEvent)
{
Initialise(loggingEvent);
var buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(RenderLoggingEvent(loggingEvent));
if ((_file.Properties.Length + buffer.Length) > MaximumFileSize)
{
//do something if the file reach the max file size
}
else
{
_file.Resize(_file.Properties.Length + buffer.Length);
using (var fileStream = _file.OpenWrite(null))
{
fileStream.Seek(buffer.Length * -1, SeekOrigin.End);
fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}
}
}
Step 3, After that, you could add the size limit(per byte) to configuration file.
<MaximumFileSize value="10240" />
In my config file, I use
input { log4j {} }
and:
output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }
I've attached my log4j to logstash using SocketListener. When my app prints something to the log, I see in logstash:
{
"message" => "<the message>",
"#version" => "1",
"#timestamp" => "2015-06-05T20:28:23.312Z",
"type" => "log4j",
"host" => "127.0.0.1:52083",
"path" => "com.ohadr.logs_provider.MyServlet",
"priority" => "INFO",
"logger_name" => "com.ohadr.logs_provider.MyServlet",
"thread" => "http-apr-8080-exec-3",
"class" => "?",
"file" => "?:?",
"method" => "?",
}
the issue is that the "path" field is wrong: AFAI understand, it should be the path of the log file; instead, I get the same value as "logger_name".
I have several apps on my tomcat that I want to collect the logs from. I need "path" to be the path-of-file (including the file-name), so I can distinguish between logs from different apps (each app logs to a different file).
How can it be done?
thanks!
The log4j input is a listener on a TCP socket. There is no file path.
To solve your challenge, you can either configure multiple TCP ports, so every application logs to a different TCP port or you could use GELF. GELF is an UDP-based protocol, but you need additional jars. logstash supports also GELF as native input. You can specify in many GELF appenders static fields, so you can distinguish on application level, which application is currently logging.
You can find here an example:
<appender name="gelf" class="biz.paluch.logging.gelf.log4j.GelfLogAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="INFO" />
<param name="Host" value="udp:localhost" />
<param name="Port" value="12201" />
<param name="Version" value="1.1" />
<param name="Facility" value="java-test" />
<param name="ExtractStackTrace" value="true" />
<param name="FilterStackTrace" value="true" />
<param name="MdcProfiling" value="true" />
<param name="TimestampPattern" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSSS" />
<param name="MaximumMessageSize" value="8192" />
<!-- This are static fields -->
<param name="AdditionalFields" value="fieldName1=fieldValue1,fieldName2=fieldValue2" />
<!-- This are fields using MDC -->
<param name="MdcFields" value="mdcField1,mdcField2" />
<param name="DynamicMdcFields" value="mdc.*,(mdc|MDC)fields" />
<param name="IncludeFullMdc" value="true" />
</appender>
