Problem while logging different levels in different log files
Hi,
I need to log different levels of log in different log files
exclusively. I am using the following log4j.properties:
# Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A1.
log4j.rootLogger=INFO,A1,A2
# A1 is set to trace.log.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File=trace.log
log4j.appender.A1.Threshold=INFO
# A1 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
# A2 is set to be a fileAppender named error.log
log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A2.File=error.log
log4j.appender.A2.Threshold=ERROR
# A2 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
Currently im facing the problem that my error level messages are going
to a error.log , but my trace level message file(trace.log) has both
trace and error messages. It shud contain only trace level messages.
Has anybody tried something like this before?

You say this is running in Eclipse? Maybe a plugin is performing configuration
and looking up another file? Log4j uses log4j.xml in preference to
log4j.properties, so the automatic configuration process would use your
log4j.xml file even if a log4j.properties existed in the classpath. Look for
other configuration files that might be taking precedence, like another
log4j.xml file placed earlier in the classpath.
Also, I would suggest that you perform a test on the command line to verify that
your config does what you expect. When you verify that what you have is
correct, then test it in more complex environments like Eclipse.

AW: Problem while logging different levels in different log files
Posted by "Zadoo, Vishal (Accenture)" <Vi...@ottogroup.com>.
Hi ,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have changed to log4j.xml . However, when i run my project in eclipse for the same, it seems it is not reading from the xml file.. All log messages are going to the console.. While they should go to the file..
The log messages were going in the file when i was using log4j.properties..
Following is the log4j.xml. Any ideas why it is behaving like this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name="trace" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="file" value="/trace.log" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p %c %m %n" />
</layout>
<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
<param name="LevelMin" value="TRACE"/>
<param name="LevelMax" value="DEBUG"/>
</filter>
</appender>
<appender name="error" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="file" value="/error.log" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="[%d{ISO8601}] %-5p %c %m %n" />
</layout>
<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
<param name="LevelMin" value="INFO"/>
<param name="LevelMax" value="FATAL"/>
</filter>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="all" />
<appender-ref ref="trace"/>
<appender-ref ref="error"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>

Search the list for recent discussions about using filters. BTW, you'll need to change to an XML config format to use filters.
Not specifically applicable to this situation, at times you can use additivity if you want to control which loggers/levels log to particular appenders at the logger level. Basically, setting additivity to "false" disables the normal logger hierarchy inheritance. Again, doesn't apply here, but I thought I'd mention it.

Search the list for recent discussions about using filters. BTW, you'll need to
change to an XML config format to use filters.
Not specifically applicable to this situation, at times you can use additivity
if you want to control which loggers/levels log to particular appenders at the
logger level. Basically, setting additivity to "false" disables the normal
logger hierarchy inheritance. Again, doesn't apply here, but I thought I'd
mention it.
