One more question, with your specified way, appURL etc can be sent in the message. I am looking if this information can be sent in any of the syslog standard parameters other than message. The purpose is that it will be easier for the person analyzing the logs to just sort/filter on the separate parameters rather than looking to parse the actual log messages. I have very limited knowledge about the SYSLOG format. Any inputs on this? Thanks, Pradnya On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 11:17 AM, Ceki Gulcu <ceki@qos.ch> wrote:

Hi,
I have following requirements when sending the log from a java web application to syslog server:
1. When logging the stack trace in case of exceptions, all the stack strace should be seen as a single message.
Logback does not support this feature. Please create a jira issue asking for it.
2. Need to send either or all of the following information in logs- name of the web application, URL, version of the application.
Via MDC =======
Add the following code when your web-app starts:
MDC.put("appName", ...); MDC.put("appURL", ...); MDC.put("appVersion", ...);
In logback.xml:
<appender name="SYSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender"> <SuffixPattern>%mdc{appName} %mdc{appURL} %mdc{appVersion} %logger %msg</SuffixPattern> </appender>
By system properties ====================
Set the following system properties:
-DappName=... -DappURL=... -DappVersion
In logback.xml:
<appender name="SYSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender"> <SuffixPattern>%property{appName} %property{appURL} %property{appVersion} %logger %msg</SuffixPattern> </appender>
HTH
As per my knowledge, Syslog appender of Logback doesnot fit to above requirements. I am also looking for any other logging APIs which can satisfy these requirements. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
