Socket Appender

["Sarna, Amit" <am...@credit-suisse.com>]

Hi, 
  Does anyone have a workin example (or even does it work?) of using a socket appender (client and server) with non-XML config in log4cxx 0.9.7 ?  I want to just send lines of log level ERROR over a socket to another process on the same machine. I'd rather use the released 0.9.7 rather than latest development head as I can't really risk breaking any existing logging that is in place. 

Thanks in advance
  Amit

Hi, 
 
I was using XML Socket appender. not a plain text. 
I seen several posts saying plain text socket appender (dont remember
exact name) doesnt work. 
I was using log4cxx version 0.10.0 on linux.
 
--- config file
 
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, myappender
 
log4j.appender.myappender=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myappender.File=../logs/abc.log
 
log4j.appender.myappender.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.myappender.MaxBackupIndex=1
 
log4j.appender.myappender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.myappender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p - %m%n
 
log4j.appender.SOCK=org.apache.log4j.net.XMLSocketAppender
log4j.appender.SOCK.RemoteHost=10.232.15.31
log4j.appender.SOCK.Port=9245
log4j.appender.SOCK.LocationInfo=true

 
--- example code
 
#include <log4cxx/logstring.h>
#include <log4cxx/logger.h>
#include <log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/rollingfileappender.h>
#include <log4cxx/propertyconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/helpers/exception.h>
#include <log4cxx/logmanager.h>

 
openLogger()
{
        logger = Logger::getRootLogger();
        PropertyConfigurator::configure(LOG4CXX_FILE(pbConfigFile));
        LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "********************* LOG OPEN
*********************\n");

}
 
closeLogger()
{
        LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "********************* LOG CLOSE
*********************\n");
        LogManager::shutdown();
}
 
logMessage(strBuf)
{
    switch(logLevel)
    {
            case LOG_LEVEL_CRIT:
            case LOG_LEVEL_ERR:
                    LOG4CXX_ERROR(logger, strBuf.c_str());
                    break;
            case LOG_LEVEL_WARN:
                    LOG4CXX_WARN(logger,strBuf.c_str());
                    break;
            case LOG_LEVEL_INFO:
                    LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, strBuf.c_str());
                    break;
            case LOG_LEVEL_DBG:
            case LOG_LEVEL_TRACE:
            default:
                    LOG4CXX_DEBUG(logger,strBuf.c_str());
                    break;
    }
}
