Hi Ceki,

Thanks for the reply.

I've also tried David's suggestion before without any luck (although logback doesn't yell it me, it doesn't use the default value as well)

BTW, I don't know if it helps or not, but in some config I've tried, logback didn't threw exception but rather printed all the messages in one line, seems like something I did made it ignore he %n flag.

my config file is below :


thanks,
Yoni

Hi Yoni,

Specifying a default value after ':-' should work. This is documented
at [1]. As this feature is unit tested, I would expect it to work
without problems. Could you please post your config file on this list?

Thank you in advance,

Try

%X{req.xForwardedFor,NONE}

But :- would make more sense.

Hi,

I've been trying to use the new feature of the MDC without any luck.. it's probably a silly question, but can someone please post exact format for it?

I've tried it without any luck...

from what I've seen in the examples it seems like

%X{req.xForwardedFor:-NONE}

should work.. but for me it keeps on saying:
ScanException: Expecting }

under Parser.expectCurlyRight

version is 1.0.12 with slf4j 1.7.5



Help is much appreciated ;)
