Share your experiences with log4j.
I'd like to hear how you use log4j in your personal projects and work
projects. Like, which plugins do you use? How do you integrate them with a
larger system? Are you using it in a distributed computing environment?
Cloud hosting? Physical servers under your control? Inside a bunch of VMs?
Where do you store your logging data? How do you pass that data around?
JMS? Flume? Database connections? Are you using custom plugins?
This information will help me flesh out some more content for my upcoming
ApacheCon presentation on Log4j 2. I'd like to hear various use cases,
especially ones using the new, neat features in 2.0.

thanks very much for your feedback. Will have a closer look at it and
send some feedback
once I have made some more progress on it.

Does log4j 2 have an appender that fulfills that role? I recommend checking
out the Flume appender or JMS appender for networked logging due to general
reliability issues (both are designed for that sort of situation).

is that part of log4j2 (or 1 or both)?
I guess you mean
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/async.html
right?
> Also, what sort of custom plugin are you using?
I am not sure I understand your question, can you explain some more?
(Our custom appender to send messages via HTTP is still based on log4j
version 1)

You should try the async plugin. It's really good at getting out of the way
performance wise. Also, what sort of custom plugin are you using?

Re: Share your experiences with log4j.

Hi
I am using log4j within the Yanel CMS (http://www.yanel.org) for regular
debugging, but
also for logging of 404 and access.
I have recently upgraded part of the code to log4j2 in order to use fish
tagging, which works very fine.
Also I am using log4j to send messages via HTTP (and ActiveMQ messages)
to another server asynchronously,
but in this particular case I am struggling with some odd threading
problem, which is slowing down the CMS
and makes it stop completely at some point. Unfortunately I have not
found the reason yet for this and hence
it is currently disabled, whereas I don't think it has anything to do
with log4j itself, but rather with the code of
our custom logger. As soon as I will have some time I will compare our
code with for example
https://github.com/alexlod/scribe-log4j-appender
