How to Pass Application Name in TCPSocketServer implementation from
client to server
Hello everyone,
I am new to Log4J2 and unable to find answer to a simple question, which am
sure would be a simple thing for someone who has worked on Log4J2. I tried
asking the same question on Stack Overflow but no one replied hence asking
the same question here. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks a lot.
The question link on Stack over flow is this - https://stackoverflow.com/
questions/44445108/log4j2-how-to-pass-application-name-in-tcpsocketserver-
implementation-from-cli
Same Question here : I am running a Log4J2 TCPSocketServer on an edge node
in a cluster. All the data nodes send log events to the TCPSocketServer on
the edge node and also log locally in the data node using the log4j2.xml
configuration file as shown below. The Application Name is stored as a
System property and is accessible in the data node or client's log4j2.xml
configuration using ${sys:ABC.appname}. How can I send the same appname to
the edge node where TCPSocketServer is running using the log4j2.xml. I
would be using the same Application Name in the log4j2-server.xml to log
events into separate log files just like I am doing locally on data node.
Sample snippet from data node or Client - log4j2.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn" name="MyApp" >
<Appenders>
<Socket name="socket" host="localhost" port="12345" >
<SerializedLayout />
</Socket>
<File name="MyFile" fileName="/var/log/${sys:ABC.appname}.log" >
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d{ISO8601} %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
</File>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="debug">
<AppenderRef ref="socket"/>
<AppenderRef ref="MyFile"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
Sample snippet from edge node or Server - log4j2-server.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Appenders>
<File name="MyFile" fileName="/var/log/data/${hostName}-<**This is
where I would like to see the appname from data node**>.log" >
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d{ISO8601} %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
</File>
<Async name="AsyncFile">
<AppenderRef ref="MyFile" />
</Async>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="WARN">
<AppenderRef ref="AsyncFile"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
Thank you so much for your time.

Anhad Singh Bhasin

Thanks Matt, ThreadContext did the trick.
I really appreciate you taking the time out to answer my question.

You could add that data to the ThreadContext which would be sent along with
each log message.
