SocketAppender is reporting an WARN if connection could not be established. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-156 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-156 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Improvement Components: appender Affects Versions: 0.917 Environment: java version "1.6.0_15" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-226) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-92, mixed mode) Reporter: Joern Huxhorn Assignee: Logback dev list This is a followup to LBCLASSIC-143 which changed the message from ERROR to WARN. The WARN message still results in a dump of the logging status messages. This means that a whole bunch of text is printed to the console whenever Lilith is started - and it looks quite broken due to the stacktrace. So there are two possible solutions for this problem: a) the status is only printed in case of an ERROR b) SocketAppender considers this as an INFO instead of a WARN. I think b) would be reasonable. Other WARNs are much more important, like duplicate logback.xml. Lilith is only an example, btw. We routinely add SocketAppender[localhost] to our console applications. In case of trouble one can simply start Lilith and check the logs that way instead of reading them on the console. The default use-case is executing the app without Lilith, though, so we get the logback status messages on every start - which is quite noisy and annoying. -- 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
