Ceki, any plans on adding a AsyncAppender to LogBack ?
Yes, it will be added in one of the next releases. It's more a question of when than if.
I have also thought about gzipping the events, with MINA this would be very easy http://mina.apache.org/report/1.1/apidocs/org/apache/mina/filter/Compression...
Java's object stream protocol is already pretty optimized. Thus, I am not sure compression would make a big difference, although it is worth testing.
It's saving about 40-55%! I'm gzipping serialized events in lumberjack so it's not just a guess. I think this should probably be considered for both network transmission and logfiles. It's really easy/a small change so probably just try it out... ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer); GZIPInputStream gis=new GZIPInputStream(bis); ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(gis); o=ois.readObject(); Joern.
