file name question

Here's my appender snippet. <appender name="MSA_LOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>/usr/local/mystro/logs/msa-mdn.log</file> <append>true</append> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>/usr/local/neil/logs/msa-mdn-%i- %d{yyyyMMdd-HHmmss}.log</FileNamePattern> <MinIndex>1</MinIndex> <MaxIndex>5</MaxIndex> </rollingPolicy> <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy"> <MaxFileSize>10MB</MaxFileSize> </triggeringPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern> { %d{yyyyMMdd HHmmss.SSS} %msg \} %n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> I'd like to be able to start with a file name pattern for my initial file. Is there a way to do this? So instead of msa-mdn.log I'd like to have msa-mdn-0-20090203-042416.log or whatever the current time is as my initial file name. Also, I'd like to %d{yyyyMMdd-HHmmss} to have my date formatted in GMT time not local. How would I go about doing this? Thanks, Neil

Hi, Should this work? I'm using logback 0.9.14. Logback client config: <appender name="MSA_LOG_SERVER" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SocketAppender"> <RemoteHost>MystroLogServer</RemoteHost> <Port>4500</Port> <IncludeCallerData>true</IncludeCallerData> </appender> Log4j Server: /usr/local/neil/thirdparty/log4j-1.2.15.jar:/usr/local/neil/thirdparty/ logback-classic-0.9.14.jar:/usr/local/neil/components/msaif.jar org.apache.log4j.net.SimpleSocketServer 4500 /usr/local/neil/conf/log4j/MsaLogServerConfig.xml Thanks, Neil

SocketAppender
by Greg Flex 03 Feb '09

Hi all, I have a question about the SocketAppender. I understand that when the link to the server is down, clients trying write to it will be blocked. I was wondering if there's a way to prevent that. In other words, what would be the best way to prevent client from being block. Is there a way to "see" that the link to the server is down and if it is down lets direct messages to say, local drive. (instead of remote) Any suggestion? Ideas? Thanks a lot. Greg
