[logback-user] Log IP address.

24 Jan 2017

      I am using logback v1.1.3 with my deployed Weblogic application.  I am trying to log client ip address along with the xForwaredFor IP address.  I added the MDC filter to the application deployment web.xml file and modified the logback.xml file.  The log output correctly displays the xForwardedFor IP address.  However, I am getting a PARSER_ERROR for the client ip (IP=%h).    Any ideas on logging the request source IP?

Thanks

Here is my configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
        <appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
                <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
                        <pattern>%d %-5p [IP=%h  %X{req.remoteHost} %X{req.requestURI} External IP=%X{req.xForwardedFor}] - %msg%n</pattern>
                </encoder>
        </appender>

        <appender name="LOGFILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
            <File>applogs/${weblogic.Name}.log</File>
                <!--<pattern>%d [%thread] %-5p - %msg%n</pattern>-->
                <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">

                </encoder>
            <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">

                </timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
                <!-- Keep 3 days' worth of history -->
                <maxHistory>3</maxHistory>
            </rollingPolicy>
        </appender>

        <root level="DEBUG">

            <appender-ref ref="LOGFILE"/>
        </root>
