Remote control

Hi all,

is there any way of changing logging properties online?, i.e. without
restarting the application?, and even more, can this be done remotely?

I have a server with multiple java applications, each of them using its own
logging properties file, when a problem ocurrs i need to change the
properties file in order to enable debuging for the application causing the
problems, but obviously restarting changes the whole state of the
application, not helping to debug.

Thanks a lot.

In addition, check out the ConfigurationServlet in the 
org.apache.log4j.servlet package in log4j-sandbox (CVS only).  I haven't 
tried it yet, but it should provide you with a way to modify your log4j 
settings via the web.

Use
"PropertyConfigurator.configureAndWatch("config/logging.properties");".
This makes log4j reread the properties file every minute, allowing you
to update the debug level online.
