Specify logging options from command line in Solr 1.4?
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can point me at a simple way to specify basic
logging options (log level, log file location) when starting the Solr
example jar from the command line.
As a bit of background, I maintain a Ruby library for Solr called
Sunspot that ships with a Solr installation for ease of use. Sunspot
includes a script for starting Solr with various options, including
logging options. With Solr 1.3, I was able to write out a
logging.properties file and then set the system property
java.util.logging.config.file via the command line; this no longer
seems to work with Solr 1.4.
I understand that Solr 1.4 has moved to SLF4J, but I haven't been able
to find a readily available answer to the above question in the SLF4J
or Solr logging documentation. To be honest, I've always found logging
in Java rather mystifying.
Any help much appreciated!
Mat

Hey Mark,
Thanks very much for this - using the java.util.logging properties
does indeed work just fine.
Cheers,

By default, even though Solr uses SLF4J, it will actually use the Java
Util logging Impl:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging
So you just specify a util logging properties file on the sommand line with:
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=myLoggingConfigFilePath
An example being:
handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
# Default global logging level.
# Loggers and Handlers may override this level
.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
# --- FileHandler ---
# Override of global logging level
java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=ALL
# Naming style for the output file:
# (The output file is placed in the directory
# defined by the "user.home" System property.)
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern=%h/java%u.log
# Limiting size of output file in bytes:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=50000
# Number of output files to cycle through, by appending an
# integer to the base file name:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.count=1
# Style of output (Simple or XML):
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
