Log4J on Clustered Env.

[Chris Gilliam <ch...@gmail.com>]

Curious if anyone has any information about running Log4J in a clustered
Environment. Also, using rolling log files in a clustered environment.
Curious what will happen to the rolling logs since servers will probably not
be on the exact time as the other?

Thanks,
Chris

My recommendation for a clustered environment is to setup a central  
log server within the rack, and use SocketAppender or JMSAppender on  
each node to broadcast events.  The central log server can then setup  
a SocketReceiver or JMSReceiver, and configure standard appenders  
locally.  If you went down the JMS route, I'd highly recommend Apache  
ActiveMQ too for a free and feature rich JMS implementation, it really  
is damn good.

As part of my Apache Lab project 'Pinpoint' I'm hoping I'll be able to  
provide a binary that makes this sort of thing easier (Pinpoint not  
only soaks events to a central location but indexes them for searching/ 
reporting).

cheers,

Paul
