What is the "audit log" section in `log4j.properties`?
Hi everyone,
I would like to know what is the "audit log" section in the log4j.properties configuration file. What is it about? Also, there is already a log4j.rootLogger, so will the audit logs also go to the root logger?
Many thanks for your help!

So for those interested, the audit log needs to be configured in addition to the root logger, even if both logs to stdout.
My log4j.properties looks like this:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, console
log4j.logger.org.apache.activemq.spring=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.activemq.web.handler=WARN
log4j.logger.org.springframework=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.xbean=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.camel=INFO
log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jetty=WARN
# Console appender
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p | %m%n
log4j.appender.console.threshold=INFO
###########
# Audit log
###########
log4j.additivity.org.apache.activemq.audit=false
log4j.logger.org.apache.activemq.audit=INFO, audit
log4j.appender.audit=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.audit.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.audit.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p | %m%n

Hi Justin,
All right, thanks.

No, I am not. But thinking about it, I probably should.
Thanks,

I don't know off the top of my head. I recommend you just try it out and
see.
Are you actually setting -Dorg.apache.activemq.audit?

Hi Justin,
All right, thanks a lot for the link.
What I want to do is to log everything to stdout. I guess I can set log4j.appender.audit=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender to that effect. However, if I set the root logger to log to stdout already, should I still need to set the audit logger?
Or any other words: If I remove the "audit log" section for the log4j.properties configuration file, will I still see the audit logs on stdout?
Thanks a lot for your help!
