[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-3332) SmtpAppender: add capability to send buffered messages as an email attachment (text, zip, gzip)

["Ron Grabowski (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17480518#comment-17480518 ] 

Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4J2-3332:
---------------------------------------

[~ggregory] can you take a look at this first version and provide feedback:
 * [https://github.com/ronosaurus/logging-log4j2/commit/3bcca8dd5b779ac1b3951c7c9d469ac2c79aafd2]

This is my first contribution so I'm very open to feedback.

I couldn't figure out how to add commons-email to the log4j2-core pom.xml. IntelliJ kept saying it wasn't available even though its easily discoverable: [https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-email/1.5] I must be missing something obvious. I thought our pom files shipped with the necessary registered repositories.

> Sending hundreds of buffered messages in an email body makes it difficult to view messages in a more traditional text (fixed font) view. Introduce new parameters that default to current behavior:
>  * attachEvents: true/false (defaults to false)
>  * attachEventsCompression: none/zip/gzip (defaults to none)
> In the first iteration the filename will be "logEvents":
>  * logEvents.txt
>  * logEvents,txt.zip
>  * logEvents.html.zip
>  * logEvents.txt.gz
>  * logEvents.html.gz
> Settings like compression level will not be settable. Enhanced compression settings (bzip2, xz, pack200, deflate) will likely not be included.
> This ticket will not add support for a timer to flush events. 
> Change will occur in SmtpManager.
