Small email on error or above

[Bruno Melloni <Br...@akuratus.com>]

This need is probably very simple, well known and solved a long time
ago:

I'd like to send a tiny "<myAppName>: Error DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS" to an
email address (or list of addresses) read from a configuration file
(could even be in log4j.xml).  I only want to send it when the severity
is Error or higher.  I don't want to send the full error message, just a
short string so that the email can be routed through SMS to the support
administrators cell phone messaging.

I know I could extend Logger and use the new class instead of Logger. 
But I suspect someone has already solved this, maybe through an
appender.  

So here comes the obvious question: what is the best approach to solve
this need?

Thanks

You could use an SMTPAppender with a threshold of error and the
following for the conversion string:
MyApp Err %d{ISO8601}

Change the date format to fit your needs.
