Hi,
I have 2 questions.
1. What is logback access exactly. Is it about providing webserver request information in terms of log. Doesn’t such facility come with web server itself? (catalina.log for tomcat etc)
Yes, web-containers already support access logging. Logback-access provides the same functionality but in addition logback-access is more flexible with much better filtering and rolling capabilities.
2. I am trying to use logback access with Tomcat, however just not getting there. It would be great if someone points out any miss-outs.
Below are details:
-Tomcat 6.0.33
-Logback core 0.9.30
-Logback access 0.9.30
I have put above logback jars into tomcat jar directory. I have added ‘Valve’ configuration in server.xml and as required put the logback-access.xml in conf directory of tomcat. I referred http://logback.qos.ch/access.html
My webapp has single simple servlet that just prints login name on page which has been input from html login form. This works well however I do not see any logback initialization logs. When I query ‘AccessViewStatusMessages’, again I do not see any messages except one *‘Could not find status manager’*
There is a serious bug in AccessViewStatus servlet. That is probably why you are seeing the 'Could not find status manager' message which will be fixed with the logback next release.
