Logging to database
by Aswani 13 Jan '09

Hi everyone, In our application we log all events of all users to one log file. As we have many users, suppprt has become difficult. So we are exploring better ways. we have two options: 1) Seperating logging to different files, like one file per user. - There is a SiftingAppender in logback that serves this purpose. 2) Logging to database. (Our team is interested in this option) - Not one event at a time. Buffering all events of one client request and write all those buffered messages as one single string to Database at the end of the request. So the buffer should be thread local, or one buffer per user. I am just wondering is this possible with SiftingAppender? I saw CyclicBufferAppender in logback apidocs. But there is no documentation for that. If this appender is not for that purpose, Is there any appender that suits my requirement? So, I am thinking, instead of a FileAppender in the SiftingAppender, can we have any other appender that buffers all logging events of one client request? Am I thinking in the right direction?... Please help me in this regard... Thanks in advance!!!

logback-classic and Tomcat
by Zach Cox 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

I'm using Logback Classic pretty much everywhere in my code to log lots of things (mainly exceptions and debug messages). I do *not* use Logback Access at all. I develop this webapp locally using an embedded Jetty instance, and the logging works fine: all logging messages are written out to the Eclipse console as expected. But on production we're using Tomcat 6.0.18 (installed on Ubuntu 8.10 using apt) and I can't find any log files with logback messages anywhere. I'm sure I just have some settings wrong somewhere - can anyone tell me how to configure logback *classic* (not access) to actually write out logging messages to a log file under Tomcat 6.0.18? Thanks, Zach
