Listening to log4j events
Is there a way in Geode to listen directly to the log4j events on some port, rather than picking them up in the file? I am interested in streaming the events into the ELK stack, rather than picking up the logs after the fact.
Thanks!
Catherine

log4j is already implemented in Geode as the logging infra. I was wondering if if was already configured in such a way that there was just a port I could listen to, rather than setting this up manually myself.

Geode is using log4j2, so all you need to do is provide a log4j2
configuration file and you can use any log4j2 appenders, including the
socket appender. Geode has a default log4j2.xml file, but if you provide
your own it will use that instead.

Isn't it just a question of configuring a SocketAppender as a log4j
appender in Geode?
Thanks,
Roman.

Or you could use SpringXD and tail the file as a source and sink it into
whatever. . .
