How to completely disable logging?
Hi all,
I'm using a 3d party library (namely LIB) which uses log4cxx. I get an
error when closing my application, that log4cxx appender was not found
for some module.
I want to disable logging completely. From what I've found I can set a
log4cxx.properties file. How can I completely disable logging using this
file?
Best regards,

Hello Thor,
Sorry I took long to reply. I will just inform the library authors and
dismiss the logging messages on exit. Thank you very much for your help!

If you don't define it yourself it's not used, if it used and not
defined by you it's defined by the LIB for any reason and you can't
override it.

But which? Your configuration file may simply be wrong or you may miss
some appenders in your config. Though if you just strip down to a root
logger and maybe a console appender and provide the root logger with
level NONE, there shouldn't be any logs anymore. Everything else
depends on the errors and what your LIB is doing. It may have some
config hard coded or such...

Hi,
Thanks!
Is there a way to undefine *LOG4CXX_CONFIGURATION*override logger
options externally?
If I place a log4cxx.properties file next to my executable, I get all
sorts of errors from log4cxx. So I assumed it was possible to override
initial options, or at least disable logging for my application's scope.

Read the following paragraph, that's what Log4cxx is doing
automatically. Everything else is up to the LIB and you need to ask
it's maintainer.

Guten tag Thorsten,
Here's the complete error, dumped when closing the whole application:
log4cxx: No appender could be found for logger (LIB.LibClass).
log4cxx: Please initialize the log4cxx system properly.
Let me give you some background on how I'm using this library.
- LIB is a managed .NET dll
- My application is an unmanaged (native) c++ program.
- I use a c++/cli wrapper to access LIB (LIBWrapper)
Using LIB in a managed environment does not output the error. It's only
when I use it through my wrapper that this happens. My best guess is
that log4cxx is looking for initialization properties and not finding it.
Best!

Really appender and not logger? Are you able to post the complete
error here? The latter sounds like your LIB is pre-configuring
log4cxx, in which case you may or may not are able override it.

That depends on your LIB and how it configures log4cxx. By default
logging can easily be deactivated by settings the log level for all
loggers to NONE.
