Here is precisely what I created so far: * base abstract appender handling MongoDB connectivity [1] * standard appender [2] + tests [3] * access appender (tested with Tomcat) [4] + tests [5] * configuration examples [6] By quick googling I found several other community implementations: [7], [8], [9]. Looks like my implementation is the only one capable of storing access logs as well, e.g.: { "_id" : ObjectId("4d98cc4f7abb95e59279e183"), "timeStamp" : ISODate("2011-04-03T19:36:47.339Z"), "server" : "localhost", "remote" : { "host" : "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1", "user" : "tomcat", "addr" : "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" }, "request" : { "uri" : "/manager/images/tomcat.gif", "protocol" : "HTTP/1.1", "method" : "GET", "sessionId" : "1C6357816D9EEFD31F6D9D154D87308A", "userAgent" : "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110323 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.16", "referer" : "http://localhost:8080/manager/html" }, "response" : { "contentLength" : NumberLong(1934), "statusCode" : 200 } } We should now revise all available implementations and build final one based on best ideas from all of them. The only issue I see is integration testing: at least my tests require running MongoDB instance somewhere. This is a major drawback for both continuous integration of Lobgack extensions and for all developers, not necessarily interested in this particular extension.

Hi Christian,
Tomasz created a jira issue for implementing MongoDBAppender [2]. His implementation can be found at [3, 4, 5].
I think his impl is worth a look. He seprated connection functionality into MongoDBAppenderBase (part of logback-core) and ILoggingEvent specific code into MongoDBAppender (in logback-classic). Moreover, his code comes with 100% test coverage!
I guess the code could be easily extended to cater for AccessEvent (in logback-access).
Anyway, let me know what I can do to move this work forward.
