Logback => TLS/SSL => Syslog ?
by Otis Gospodnetić 21 Feb '19

21 Feb '19

Hi, Does Logback support sending logs to Syslog servers via TLS/SSL? I have a feeling Logback doesn't have a SyslogAppender that can send data using TLS. I say that because I don't see a mention of "syslog" on http://logback.qos.ch/manual/usingSSL.html and I see http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-890 that mentions TLSSyslogAppender, but it looks like this never ended up in Logback. I've only found it committed here: https://github.com/balabit/logback/commit/e0d89de2536e0925a6c816a50793f6a74… Could anyone please clarify? Thanks, Otis -- Monitoring * Alerting * Anomaly Detection * Centralized Log Management Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/

Spring and Logback : 8 threads (logback-1 to logback-8) are created.. why 8 ?
by Muelsa Prinarnod 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Dear all, *first of all, excuse me if you receive this issue 2 times, but I've sent it before subscribing and I was not sure it was accepted.* I have deployed 10 applications in Tomcat/Spring and each one contains logback in order to have a different log file for each application. When I look at tomcat threads, I see 8 threads per application (named logback-1 to logback-8). Does anyone know why 8 and how to reduce that number ? (and the consequencies) ? 8x10 is much ... thanks in advance for any help, Samuel

Crossposting from stackoverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48341348/how-to-add-less-than-and-great…> Can someone let me know how can I add less than (<) and greater than (>) sign in logback.xml? I want to have a encoder.pattern like below <encoder> <pattern>%p [%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS}] %c{3}:[%C{1}:%M:%L] - [%t] - %replace(%.-20480m){'[^A-Za-z0-9=<>:@\\-\\[\\]\n\\s!]','_'}%n </pattern><encoder> But this is failing because of the presence of <> ? Thanks, Debraj

Release of logback version 1.3.0-alpha0
by Ceki 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hello all, I am happy to announce the release of logback version 1.3.0-alpha0. The 1.3.x series is Jigsaw/Java0 modularized and requires slf4j-api version 1.8.x. Given that all currently available versions of Groovy are incompatible with Java 9, at least when built with Maven, we have momentarily dropped support for Groovy configuration, a.k.a Gaffer. The 1.3.x series requires Java 7 at runtime. If you wish to build logback from source, you will need Java 9. Please refer to the news page for precise details. http://logback.qos.ch/news.html You can receive logback related announcements by subscribing to the QOS.ch announce mailing list. To subscribe to QOS.ch announce list, please visit the following URL. http://www.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/announce You may also receive announcements via twitter by following: https://twitter.com/qos_ch Enjoy, -- Ceki Gülcü

Re: [logback-user] Delaying debug logs until an error occurs
by Friso Vrolijken 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi all, >> I’m wondering if there is a way to have logback “save” debug messages and only log them if an error is logged at some point later on in the same transaction. > That sounds like a feature you should bake into your codebase, instead of pushing it to logback. As I have had the same thought a couple of times before, I disagree. Why should everyone fix the same problem in their own codebase? Isn’t that what libraries are for? Groeten, Friso

I am using logback 1.2.3 .

Setter after parsing config file in logback appender
by Debraj Manna 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

In log4j there is a method activateOptions which is called after log4j has parsed the configuration file and called any associated setters. Is there any similar method in logback which is called after logback has parsed the configuration file and called the associated setters?

GELF support
by Guido Wimmel 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Hi, we want to use Logback to send logs to a Graylog server using the GELF format. The only third-party framework supporting GELF listed on the official logback site seems to be Logback-gelf (see https://logback.qos.ch/download.html ), which is no longer maintained. Is anyone using one of the alternatives (see https://marketplace.graylog.org/addons?kind=gelf&tag=logback ) and can share their experiences? There are currently no plans to include GELF support into Logback proper (as in Log4j2), right? Thanks in advance, cheers, Guido
