Make SyslogAppenderBase fields protected ---------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-52 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-52 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Anton Tagunov Assignee: Logback dev list Hi! We'd like to customize some of SyslogAppender. Since SyslogAppenderBase class is public and is a base class by destination would it be appropriate to have all of the fields be designated as 'protected'? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[JIRA] Created: (LBCLASSIC-52) Allow multiple addresses for "to" property of SMTPAppender

Allow multiple addresses for "to" property of SMTPAppender ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-52 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-52 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Andrey Utkin Assignee: Ceki Gulcu SMTPAppender don`t allow to specify multiple addresses in single "to" property. So that, it is (almost?) impossible to specify multiple "to" addresses via variable substitution. We should know exact number of addresses (variables) to specify appropriate quantity of <to> elements. But number of "to" addresses could be changed during application using and differ from customer to customer. So, IMFO it will be helpful to allow specifying multiple addresses in one <to> element. Multiple addresses could be separated by comma, for example (as comma is not valid character for email address). Right now we are using simple workaround. We subclass SMTPAppender and overwrite addTo(): {code} @Override public void addTo(String to) { StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(to, ","); while(st.hasMoreTokens()) { super.addTo(st.nextToken().trim()); } } {code} This solution works just fine for us. May be it will be good to include this feature in core logback too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[JIRA] Created: (LBCLASSIC-82) Allow an Appender to be added to a Logger with a Level for more fine grained control of logging output

Allow an Appender to be added to a Logger with a Level for more fine grained control of logging output ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LBCLASSIC-82 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-82 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: New Feature Components: appender, joran Environment: N/A Reporter: Robert Elliot Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor Here's my use case: I have an appender, standard.log, whose job is to log major system events such as startup and shutdown, and all problems. I have configured my logger levels very carefully to ensure I get exactly the output I want - in some cases suppressing WARN messages that I know are not a problem by setting the level to ERROR, in some cases allowing INFO messages that let me see important lifecycle events. A simplified example might look like this: root=WARN,standard.log x.y=INFO a=ERROR I have a problem in a couple of parts of the system which means I want to turn on debug logging for that part of the system. I want the output of this to go to a separate appender - debug.log. So now my config looks like this: root=WARN,standard.log x.y=INFO x.y.z=DEBUG,debug.log a=ERROR a.b=DEBUG,debug.log But now I have an issue; all my debug statements are going to standard.log. It is being polluted with a load of information I don't want in it. I have several options: 1) Set additivity to false on x.y.z and a.b. But then any ERROR messages in a.b or INFO or above messages in x.y.z no longer get to standard.log, so this won't do 2) Add a filter of INFO or greater to the standard.log appender But then any INFO and WARN messages in a.b will get to standard.log - and I only want ERROR messages from a and its descendants in there 3) Add a filter of WARN or greater to the standard.log appender Now I still get the WARN messages from a.b that I don't want - and I've lost the INFO messages from x.y that I do want 4) Create two new appenders, standard.log2 for a and standard.log3 for x.y.z. Add a filter to standard.log2 so that it only accepts ERROR. Add a filter to standard.log3 so it only accepts INFO or above. Set additivity to false on a and x.y.z. That works. But it's a huge amount of added configuration, and that would rapidly multiply in a real world setting. 5) Create a custom filter for standard.log which would effectively mirror the logger config by querying the event for its logger and and level. That blows DRY out of the water, of course, and again is a large amount of work for a simple use case. My suggestion to make this easy is to allow Appenders to be added to a Logger with a Level. This solution would operate in parallel with the existing solution, and would not alter the existing behaviour one iota. This would allow me to add debug,log as an appender on a and x.y.z with a level of debug. All debug statements in a and x.y.z & their descendants would be appended to that appender. All statements would also be passed to the "normal" appender and logger hierarchy, so standard.log would still get the same output as before. I have written unit tests for this behaviour and attach a patch fulfilling them; I hope the unit tests flesh out any queries you may have around how this behaves in edge cases. The only change to the public API is a new method addAppender(Appender<LoggingEvent> newAppender, Level level) on Logger. The only change to the config format is allowing an optional level attribute on appender-ref. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

TimeBasedRollingPolicy can not be used with any other triggering policies ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-61 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-61 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Szel Zoltan Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Critical If someone would like to have a time based rolling policy with a size based triggering policy, than the user will get a NullPointerException,: at ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.helper.Compress.GZCompress(Compress.java:130) at ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy.rollover(TimeBasedRollingPolicy.java:142) at ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender.rollover(RollingFileAppender.java:91) at ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender.subAppend(RollingFileAppender.java:116) at ch.qos.logback.core.WriterAppender.append(WriterAppender.java:124) at ch.qos.logback.core.AppenderBase.doAppend(AppenderBase.java:81) at ch.qos.logback.core.spi.AppenderAttachableImpl.appendLoopOnAppenders(AppenderAttachableImpl.java:51) at ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.appendLoopOnAppenders(Logger.java:282) at ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.callAppenders(Logger.java:266) at ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.buildLoggingEventAndAppend(Logger.java:487) at ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.filterAndLog(Logger.java:479) The cause of this issue is the isTriggeringEvent method in the TimeBasedRollingPolicy which has a side effect, namely it prepares the file name of the file which is about to rotate. If someone uses a triggering policy other than the same TimeBasedRollingPolicy, than the isTriggeringEvent method will not be called, hence the elapsedPeriodFileName will be null, hence a null pointer exception will be thrown in the start of the compression or while renaming. Please modify the isTriggeringEvent to not have this side effect + the rollover logic to capture the time information from the current event.

Allow rolling based on time or file size ---------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-60 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-60 Project: logback-core Issue Type: New Feature Components: Appender Affects Versions: 0.9.9 Reporter: Szel Zoltan Assignee: Logback dev list The rolling grouping file appender allows to roll over on a specific interval(TimeBasedRollingPolicy) or when the log file has reached a specific file size. But unfortunately Logback does not support both to use together. For example if i want to roll over every day but i also want to roll the file when it is greater than 100MB. Please consider adding this feature to Logback and feel free to contact me if further clarification is required.

AppenderBase doAppend is synchronized causing significant performance problems when calling appenders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LBCORE-58 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-58 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Appender Affects Versions: 0.9.10 Environment: All Reporter: Ralph Goers Assignee: Logback dev list Slow appenders cause Logback to be a significant bottleneck in the system. AppenderBase doAppend is synchronized to allow Appenders to be threadsafe. This is an extremely poor way to accomplish that. Many Appenders are slow since they are dealing with I/O of some kind but may be thread safe. Where they are not they should deal with the issue at the smallest granularity possible. AppenderBase must be changed to not be synchronized and any Appenders that are not thread safe should be modified appropriately. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
