I can't for the life of me get this running. Currently I've got the appender (file appender in this case) creating the output files, but all I get in them is stuff like:

%PARSER_ERROR_d:MODULE:%PARSER_ERROR_msg%

Which looks like the pattern stuff isn't started up properly.

You need to invoke the start() method on most if not all logback components for them to function property. Lance White wrote:

Hello Lance,

Look into the junit test cases which do that type of operation all the time. For example, see:

http://logback.qos.ch/xref-test/ch/qos/logback/classic/html/HTMLLayoutTest.h... http://logback.qos.ch/xref-test/ch/qos/logback/core/rolling/SizeBasedRolling...

If that does not help, post your code here.
