The background to the idea is as follows: 1. The developer is programming a new module (e.g. a configuration manager) and he would like to have the log entries summarised in a separate log file. 2. Therefore, he calls something like that: LOGGER.trace(“Config-Mgr”, “Message”) 3. SLF4J / Logback automatically reads this string and create this Logfile: AppLog-Config-Mgr.log 4. The central element is that we do not have to modify logback.xml and create an appender for each Logfile. This means that if the user now calls e.g.: LOGGER.trace(“User-Actionlog”, “Message”) then this new log file will created without having to modify logback.xml: AppLog-User-Actionlog.log Thank you very much for any tips & tricks 😊 Thanks a lot, kind regards, Thomas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
