range filter?
I'm looking for a range filter in log4j2. I see there is on in log4net and it appears there was one written by someone for log4j 1. Just wondering if there is something 'out of the box' in log4j2 that will accomplish the same? I was wondering whether this could be accomplished with the CompositeFilter with two ThresholdFilter?
Thanks,
Nick

Hm... maybe we need
a org.apache.logging.log4j.Level.isInRange(Level, Level) method to help
implement this filter...

Basically I need the same functionality of the LevelRangeFilter in log4net, but of course in log4j2.

Why not? It would take about 10 minutes to implement. In fact, I am sure it would take more time to document it than to implement it.

I've got to say that I use MarkerFilters all the time, but I still need to
refresh my brain when I've not used them in a while.
If providing a LevelRangeFilter would be less confusing, then perhaps we
should write one.

I see. I didn't know you could nest filters inside an AppenderRef. Nice!

Re: range filter?
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
If you only want info events then you should do
<Filters>
<ThresholdFilter level=“warn” onMatch=“DENY” onMisMatch=“NEUTRAL”/>
<ThresholdFilter level=“info” onMatch=“ACCEPT” onMisMatch=“DENY”/>
</Filters>
If you want to illustrate the other use case you would need a configuration like
<root level=“ALL”>
<appenderRef ref=“appender1”>
<ThresholdFilter level=“INFO” onMatch=“DENY” onMisMatch=“ACCEPT”/>
</appenderRef>
<appenderRef ref=“appender2”>
<Filters>
<ThresholdFilter level=“FATAL” onMatch=“DENY” onMisMatch=“NEUTRAL”/>
<ThresholdFilter level=“INFO” onMatch=“ACCEPT” onMisMatch=“DENY”/>
</Filters>
</appenderRef>

Re: range filter?
Posted by Remko Popma <re...@gmail.com>.
The StackOverflow link was an answer to the question "how to send _only_ INFO level events to an appender".
I thought it would illustrate how filters combinations could be used to achieve the original request: "I might want all DEBUG, TRACE and VERBOSE events going to one appender. All INFO, ERROR and WARN events going to another appender. All BUSINESS events (my custom) level, going to yet another appender."
Seemed to me to be a similar use case to the SO question.

Re: range filter?
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
I am not sure why Remko advised you to do it this way. The first filter will deny Warn, error and fatal making the next two filters redundant. The third filter will accept events at level info and deny trace and debug. So the end result is the only events that will get logged will be those at INFO level.
The composite filter really just wraps other filters and returns whatever result they generate. For example, if the first filter returns accept or deny then that value will be returned as the result without consulting any other filters. If the result is neutral then the second filter will be used to see if the event passes that.

RE: range filter?
Posted by Nicholas Duane <ni...@msn.com>.
Maybe. However, I'm having a hard time following what the configuration is saying and thus have no idea what I would need to put in the configuration. Here is a snippet from that post:
<!-- Now deny warn, error and fatal messages -->
<ThresholdFilter level="warn" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
<ThresholdFilter level="error" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
<ThresholdFilter level="fatal" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
<!-- This filter accepts info, warn, error, fatal and denies debug/trace -->
<ThresholdFilter level="info" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
The top three seem as if they would deny warn, error and fatal, yet the third says it accepts info, warn, error and fatal. And while I understand those in isolation, I think, I have no idea how the <filters> composite would handle this. Why are the first three needed? How does the CompositeFilter work? Does it try to match on each filter in the list of stop as soon as it gets a DENY?
What if I wanted to setup a filter which just accepted WARN? And on top of that ensure that if anyone defined any custom levels which are maybe just 1 away from WARN in either direction that those don't make it in the appender. How would you do that?
How I did this with the log4net LevelRangeFilter was to set the levelMin and levelMax to the same value.
Thanks,
Nick

RE: range filter?
Posted by Nicholas Duane <ni...@msn.com>.
By the way, let me say that I'm surprisingly delighted by the quickness of responses and level of interest in solving these issues. THANK YOU. I guess after posting a few messages on the log4net mailing list and getting no responses I wasn't too hopeful about getting responses to my log4j questions. I guess there is a big difference in support between the two products?
Thanks,
Nick

Ah, yes, sorry, I had not read it in detail. It would be nice to expand the
unit test I just committed with a more complex scenario.
Could this use better docs or a FAQ entry?

You misread the comment. The commentor basically told me the answer works with a minor change, and that he would mark the question as "done" if I would edit my answer (which I did).
So the answer works and seems to apply to your use case, no? The question is if it also works with custom levels.

Re: range filter?
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
From the manual - "This filter returns the onMatch result if the level in the LogEvent is the same or more specific than the configured level and the onMismatch value otherwise.”
So if you have
<Filters>
<ThresholdFilter level=“DEBUG” onMatch=“NEUTRAL” onMisMatch=“DENY”
<ThresholdFilter level=“WARN” onMatch=“DENY” onMisMatch=“NEUTRAL”
<Filters>
Then the first filter should allow Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal through, discarding Trace events. The second filter will deny Warn, Error and Fatal events, allowing Debug and Info to continue to be filtered. If you want them to be unconditionally processed regardless of other filters then set the onMisMatch to ACCEPT.

Thanks. I checked out the link. It seems they were trying to do something similar to me. I see the last comment on that is that it doesn't work.
There is another post afterwards which uses the ThresholdFilter. However the ThresholdFilter won't work as that allows, or denys, all levels greater than or equal to or less than or equal to the level. I need to filter a specific range of levels.
Thanks,
Nick

Can you try something similar to this

and see if that works with custom levels as well?

Re: range filter?
Posted by Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>.
I should also point out that if you look at the documentation you will see that the default value for onMisMatch is “Deny”. So your first filter tests the log level and no matter what the level is it will discard the event.

RE: range filter?
Posted by Nicholas Duane <ni...@msn.com>.
I've tried a couple different combinations and so far no luck. Here's
the current configuration I tested with which doesn't work:
<File ...>
<PatternLayout>
...
</PatternLayout>
<Filters>
<ThresholdFilter level="INFO" onMatch="DENY"/>
<ThresholdFilter level="DEBUG" onMatch="ACCEPT"/>
</Filters>
</File>
The
use case for why I want such a filter is to forward a range of events
to an appender. The threshold filter won't work because it will send
all events matching a certain level and lower to the appender. For
instance, I might want all DEBUG, TRACE and VERBOSE events going to one
appender. All INFO, ERROR and WARN events going to another appender.
All BUSINESS events (my custom) level, going to yet another appender.
Thanks,
Nick
