Setting custom Log location - log4j

[userx <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I intend to use log4j for Apache Ignite logging. The steps I followed are

1) add maven dependency of 
<groupId>org.apache.ignite</groupId>
<artifactId>ignite-log4j</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>

2) set the following in IgniteConfiguration file
		<property name="gridLogger">
			<bean class="org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j.Log4JLogger">
				<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="config/ignite-log4j.xml"
/>
			</bean>
		</property>
3) When I start the server, it generates log at $IGNITE_HOME/work location.
I put in a debug point to see if Log4JLogger is getting instantiated and it
does.

4) Then I set an environment variable in eclipse say LOG_HOME and replaced
IGNITE_HOME with the same.
When I restarted the server it is still writing at IGNITE_HOME. 

How can I change the location of my Ignite logs to a custom location I have
set up in eclipse environment variables ? I intend to use the same strategy
and let WAL happen at a custom location as well.

This simply means that environment variable is not picked up by the process.
If you run in Eclipse, probably you just need to restart it.

Hi Val,

Can you help me out with the configuration change for log4j ? I have
provided the value of LOG_HOME in environment variables in eclipse. Here is
what I have
    <appender name="FILE"
class="org.apache.ignite.logger.log4j.Log4jRollingFileAppender">
        
        
        
        
        
        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
            
        </layout>
    </appender>

I am having similar problem setting persistentStorePath property, 

<property name="persistentStoreConfiguration">
			<bean
class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.PersistentStoreConfiguration">
		<property name="persistentStorePath"
value="${LOG_HOME}/PersistentStore"></property>
			</bean>
</property>

If I put the debug point in setPersistentStore method what I receive there
is ${LOG_HOME}/PersistentStore
rather than C:\\users which is the value of environment variable LOG_HOME.

This is quite a problem for me.

Path for log files is ${IGNITE_HOME}/work/log/, as specified in the log4j
file. If log4j logger is used and if configuration was not changed, then
most likely the change to IGNITE_HOME property variable you made was not
picked by the process. You can check it in the log - Ignite prints out
IGNITE_HOME value on startup.

However, if the purpose of this is to only change log files location, then
it's better to modify file appender ignite-log4j.xml.
