Logging Exceptions using DBAppender fails (at least on Oracle), when message or stack frame is longer than 254 bytes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-249 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-249 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Bug Components: appender Affects Versions: 0.9.28 Environment: Oracle DBMS Reporter: Andreas Zielke Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor Sometimes the DBAppender failed to log Exceptions, so I checked the status of the StatusManager and found the folloging problem: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-12899: Wert zu groß für Spalte "SUBSYSTEMTEST"."LOGGING_EVENT_EXCEPTION"."TRACE_LINE" (aktuell: 692, maximal: 254) Possible fix: After reading the code of DBAppender I subclassed it and changed the code of the method void updateExceptionStatement(PreparedStatement exceptionStatement, String txt, short i, long eventId) so that the text would be shortened accordingly. This seems to be the most consistent workaround, as many other columns are also only 254 bytes wide. I'd much rather have a wider column and not loose information, though. (This would be consistent with the changes to LOGGING_EVENT_EXCEPTION as proposed in LBCLASSIC-170). -- 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

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

ServletContextListener to relocate logback config, implementation provided -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-202 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-202 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 0.9.20 Reporter: Attila Király Assignee: Logback dev list In spring there is a Log4jConfigListener which can be used to reconfigure the default location of the log4j config. I always liked to use it because so I could relocate my log4j.xml from the classes directory next to the web.xml so the config files were at one place. Because I did not find something like that I wrote one for logback. I think it could be included into logback-classic. ch.qos.logback.classic.servlet.LogbackConfigListener configuration is very easy: 1. Add the listener to the web.xml (it should be the first listener so logback gets configured before the other listeners start up): <listener> <listener-class>ch.qos.logback.classic.servlet.LogbackConfigListener</listener-class> </listener> 2. Add a context-param to web.xml to specify the location of the logback config: <context-param> <param-name>logbackConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/log.xml</param-value> </context-param> And thats it. The location is resolved in the following way (similar to spring aproach): - if the location starts with "/" it is resolved as servlet context resource - otherwise an URL is constructed from it. So you can use locations like this also: file:/foo/bar/logback.xml or file:d:/foo/bar/logback.xml - if the the first method fails a java.io.FileInputStream is created from the location to be used as input for logback configuration. - If none of the above worked an error is logged to servlet log but no exception is thrown. The location can contain system properties, those gets resolved. So a location can be configured for example to: file:${user.home}/configuration/log.xml The original spring listener only worked with expanded wars this logback variant does not have this requirement. -- 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

FileAppender should permit lazy file creation --------------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-184 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-184 Project: logback-core Issue Type: New Feature Components: Appender Affects Versions: 0.9.26 Reporter: Eric Estievenart Assignee: Logback dev list There should be an option to allow lazy file creation, so that the files are created only when an event has to be logged into it, and not when the appender starts. The main idea behind that is that I dislike seeing files like ERROR.log (or even worse CRASH.log !) in the log folders, even if their size is zero. And these files are probably even rolled over (at least with time based policy), which can generate many (empty and useless) files with frightening names. I think that something like <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <lazy>true</lazy> ... </appender> would be very convenient, as well as a way to globally set all file based appenders lazy (or not) at once: <configuration> <lazyFileAppenders/> </configuration> (or whatever people may find more convenient, maybe <FileAppenders lazy="true"/> ) (because you may not want to add that on a dozen or more file appenders). This applies to all file appenders, including rolling ones, and maybe others ? BTW, the more I use logback the more impressed I am. You deserve a gold medal for your good job guys !

Recording appender that dumps debug messages only when error occurs ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-260 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-260 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: New Feature Components: appender Affects Versions: 0.9.28 Reporter: Tomasz Nurkiewicz Assignee: Logback dev list Provide built-in utility appender that silently stores last few logging messages and dumps them (forwards to a target appender) only when an error occurs. Older logging events are replaced with new ones. This is a configuration example: <configuration> <appender name="REC" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.RecordingAppender"> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/> <maxEvents>1000</maxEvents> <dumpThreshold>WARN</dumpThreshold> <expiryTimeMs>15000</expiryTimeMs> </appender> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <encoder> <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <root level="DEBUG"> <appender-ref ref="REC"/> </root> </configuration> Such an appender is crafted manually by several users, it would be nice to provide it out of the box.
