Hi all, I have an SMTPAppender in place which should send mails in case of log level WARN as well instead of only ERROR. That works properly with the following expression and a custom implementation checking the log level:
<evaluator class="de.am_soft.util.logging.logback.OnWarnEvaluator" />
I have an additional SMTPAppender which should recognize the WARN-check as well, but check additional aspects of the logger and the log message. I thought that using an ADDITIONAL filter is the correct thing to do:
<evaluator class="de.am_soft.util.logging.logback.OnWarnEvaluator" /> <filter class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter"> <evaluator class="ch.qos.logback.classic.boolex.JaninoEventEvaluator"> <expression> return logger.endsWith(".emptyPacket") || ((throwableProxy != null) && throwableProxy.getMessage().contains("missing collectors")); </expression> </evaluator>
<onMatch>ACCEPT</onMatch> <onMismatch>DENY</onMismatch> </filter>
But that doesn't work, the receiver gets ALL mails with log level WARN, the additional filter doesn't seem to be applied. So I simply removed OnWarnEvaluator because I thought that the filter itself should be enough to decide, but that doesn't work as well. The receiver gets only mails with log level ERROR now. So how do OnWarnEvaluator and filter interact? Which one gets executed first or even at all? Regarding my tests it seems that only OnWarnEvaluator gets executed. Does the filter need to check the log level as well? Wouldn't make much sense to me, because the appender doesn't care about which things are checked within the filter, only about its results. Thanks for any clarifications!
