Hey guys,
I searched Google for:
...before messaging.
I need some feedback on writing a Redis appender for logback.
It is especially useful to do this as an appender instead of putting a program behind the socket appender, because I'll have direct access to the log event, and I'll have a lot of flexibility with regards to saving each field of the event with a suitably descriptive key in Redis. With Redis' fast retrieval and pattern matching support on keys, I'll be able to do fast log analyses using a separate custom tool (which I'm also planning to build and put in the open source domain).
Please let me know if I'm going to waste my time, and if the same thing can be achieved with one of the other appenders. Extending DBAppender also didn't make a lot of sense because it's mainly geared towards SQL.
Thanks,
Juan
