Ok, Lets switch gears. If I wanted to expose logback manually via JMX (instead of using the <jmxConfigurator />), which class represents the registered mbean? Thanks! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joshua White <logback@jwhitesolutions.com> Date: Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 9:07 AM Subject: Unable to see ch.qos.logback.classic.jmx.Configurator folder within JConsole? To: logback-user@qos.ch Hello, I am attempting to configure logback to use JMX. I have used the "<jmxConfigurator />" within my xml file and I see the following in the log: 09:02:16,991 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[mycompany-portal] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml] 09:02:17,022 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[mycompany-portal] - Found resource [logback.xml] at [file:/C:/source/mycompany/mycompany-core-jar/bin/logback.xml] 09:02:17,179 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - Setting ReconfigureOnChangeFilter scanning period to 15 minutes 09:02:17,179 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.turbo.ReconfigureOnChangeFilter@18661866 - Will scan for changes in file [C:\source\mycompany\mycompany-core-jar\bin\logback.xml] every 900 seconds. 09:02:17,179 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - Adding ReconfigureOnChangeFilter as a turbo filter 09:02:17,179 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ContextNameAction - Setting logger context name as [mycompany-portal] *09:02:17,179 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.JMXConfiguratorAction - begin* 09:02:17,647 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - About to instantiate appender of type [ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender] 09:02:17,647 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as [FILE] 09:02:17,679 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Assuming default type [ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder] for [encoder] property 09:02:17,679 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Pushing component [encoder] on top of the object stack. 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender[FILE] - File property is set to [c:/temp/oep/mycompany-portal.log] 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.LoggerAction - Setting level of logger [com.mycompany] to DEBUG 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.LoggerAction - Setting additivity of logger [com.mycompany] to true 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.LoggerAction - Setting level of logger [org.springframework] to INFO 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.LoggerAction - Setting additivity of logger [org.springframework] to true 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.RootLoggerAction - Setting level of ROOT logger to INFO 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [FILE] to Logger[ROOT] 09:02:17,757 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - End of configuration. When I start JConsole (IBM's version...) I only see two folders. I would expect to see a folder for "ch.qos.logback.classic.jmx.Configurator". Here is what I see: Shouldn't the logback folder be in root with these two folders? JMImplementation WebSphere Here is what I am using: Logback 0.9.24 Websphere 6.1 Any thoughts or recommendations?
