Hello Chris, It is actually quite easy to write your own converter with logback. See http://logback.qos.ch/manual/layouts.html#customConversionSpecifier for details. HTH, On 27/09/2010 7:50 PM, Chris wrote:
This is a request for a new logback feature. Not sure if this is the right place to post it.
I'd love to see a new PatternLayout conversion specifier: %elapsed
This would show the number of milliseconds elapsed since the last log statement. At the moment, the closest option is %relative, which shows the elapsed milliseconds since the layout was created.
I like to log the start and end of different functions so I can see the performance of each. At the moment I have to calculate the elapsed time in every individual function and log it. It would be easier to have logback take care of this for me.
