http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201 Summary: Need ability to shutdown loggers and flush appenders Product: SLF4J Version: 1.6.x Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: Core API AssignedTo: slf4j-dev(a)qos.ch ReportedBy: mike.schall(a)gmail.com There needs to be a way to shutdown logging and flush async appenders so when a process is closing, all log events are written before the process is closed. Should ILoggerFactory have a shutdown or stop method? It could shutdown whatever logging back end I'm using? For log4j it would call - org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLoggerRepository().shutdown(); For logback it would call - loggerContext.stop() Other back ends - ??? This is required to allow me to not reference logging back ends explicitly in my code to shutdown successfully without losing events.

[Bug 266] New: Memory Leak: Clearing MDC context with Log4J
by bugzilla-daemon＠qos.ch 25 Sep '14

http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266 Summary: Memory Leak: Clearing MDC context with Log4J Product: SLF4J Version: 1.6.x Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P1 Component: Implementations AssignedTo: slf4j-dev(a)qos.ch ReportedBy: f.bantner(a)axon-e.de Recently after a long time log4j got it's problem with clearing the MDC context and the underlying ThreadLocal Hashmap fixed. S. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50486 This fixed a long running Problem with Tomcat freeing memory on reload. In order to do so, log4j's MDC got the clear method with 1.2.16 and with 1.2.17 fixed it so that it works. Log4j has an MDC adaptor for Log4J and it's own clear method. But instead of calling Log4J's clear it implements essentially (MDC.getContext()).clear() which only clears the HashMap but doesn't remove it from the ThreadLocal context resulting in a MemroryLeak. Short workaround: Instead of calling slf4j's MDC.clear() call log4j's MDC.clear() (but that is the exact opositit of what slf4j is made for) Simple Fix: change log4j's mdc adaptor to call MDC.clear() instead of MDC.getContext().clear(). More complex fix: If backward compatibility is an issue (like it was für log4j) than log4js solution can be applied here: Instead of calling MDC.clear() directly call it via reflexion if it exists and otherwise keep calling MDC.getContext().clear(). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 176] New: Initialization (getILoggerFactory) is not thread safe
by bugzilla-daemon＠pixie.qos.ch 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176 Summary: Initialization (getILoggerFactory) is not thread safe Product: SLF4J Version: 1.5.x Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Core API AssignedTo: slf4j-dev(a)qos.ch ReportedBy: rcogswell(a)datasltn.com If a getLogger call occurs during initialization from a thread other than the one that triggered the initialization, it is treated the same as if it were a re-entrant call from the initialization thread (i.e. getILoggerFactory returns the TEMP_FACTORY). Scenario: 1. An SLF4J LogFactory.getLogger statement is at the beginning of a worker thread class's run method. 2. Two or more worker threads are started at the same time during server startup. 3. Since the getLogger statements from the workers are executed nearly simultaneously, the first one triggers the SLF4J initialization and subsequent workers receive NOPLogger instances from the TEMP_FACTORY since LoggerFactory.INITIALIZATION_STATE == ONGOING_INITILIZATION. 4. Logging then works successfully for the worker that triggered the initialization, but the logging for all other workers is suppressed. The only reason I've indicated the severity as "major" instead of "critical" is that I happen to have my own wrapper class around SLF4J, so it was easy for me to independently track whether or not SLF4J has been called and introduce appropriate synchronization around the first call. For those using SLF4J directly (as recommended), there would not likely be any straightforward workaround. Below I've included a new implementation for LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory to address this. The key aspects of this new implementation are as follows: 1. Checks first for successful initialization since this is the case for which performance matters most. 2. Synchronizes around determining whether or not the current thread should perform initialization, but does not synchronize around the initialization itself. 3. Retains the previous behavior for re-entrant calls from the thread performing the initialization. 4. Calls from other threads during initialization will wait up to 10 seconds for the initialization to finish. The main downsides of the implementation below (aside from not yet being tested): 1. If a logging implementation uses multiple threads to perform its initialization and one of those threads does a getLogger call, then this change would have undesirable effects, but I would be very surprised if any SLF4J implementations have multi-threaded initialization. 2. 10 seconds was a fairly arbitrary choice. It might be worthwhile to allow this to be controlled by a system property with a default of 10 seconds. 3. Considerably more complicated than the current implementation. private static Thread INITIALIZATION_THREAD = null; private static Object INITIALIZATION_SYNCH = new Object(); /** * Return the {@link ILoggerFactory} instance in use. * * <p> * ILoggerFactory instance is bound with this class at compile time. * * @return the ILoggerFactory instance in use */ public static ILoggerFactory getILoggerFactory() { if (INITIALIZATION_STATE == SUCCESSFUL_INITILIZATION) { return getSingleton().getLoggerFactory(); } if (INITIALIZATION_STATE == FAILED_INITILIZATION) { throw new IllegalStateException(UNSUCCESSFUL_INIT_MSG); } boolean shouldPerformInitialization = false; synchronized (INITIALIZATION_SYNCH) { if (INITIALIZATION_STATE == UNINITIALIZED) { INITIALIZATION_STATE = ONGOING_INITILIZATION; INITIALIZATION_THREAD = Thread.currentThread(); shouldPerformInitialization = true; } else if (INITIALIZATION_STATE == ONGOING_INITILIZATION) { if (Thread.currentThread() == INITIALIZATION_THREAD) { // support re-entrant behavior. // See also http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106 return TEMP_FACTORY; } try { INITIALIZATION_SYNCH.wait(10000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { Util.reportFailure("Initialization failed to complete within 10 seconds."); return TEMP_FACTORY; } } } if (shouldPerformInitialization) { performInitialization(); synchronized (INITIALIZATION_SYNCH) { INITIALIZATION_THREAD = null; INITIALIZATION_SYNCH.notifyAll(); } } switch (INITIALIZATION_STATE) { case SUCCESSFUL_INITILIZATION: return getSingleton().getLoggerFactory(); case FAILED_INITILIZATION: throw new IllegalStateException(UNSUCCESSFUL_INIT_MSG); } throw new IllegalStateException("Unreachable code"); } -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 173] New: slf4j android: Android throws an IllegalArgumentException when Log Tag length exceeds 23 characters

I think the tag length should be checked and the tag eventually trimmed in order to avoid incurring in this exception without having to change the application logging code. The check is performed into the native method android.util.Log.isLoggable() To reproduce the problem in Android 1.1: String ALLOWED_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw"; String TOO_LONG_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; Log.i(ALLOWED_TAG, "blabla"); Log.i(TOO_LONG_TAG, "blabla"); -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

Even if it would do nothing in log4j-over-slf4j (as does getLevel(), which is not missing), it should be present, IMHO. I have not checked whether there are more incompatibilities, I have just noticed it when trying to compile one of our projects with log4j-over-slf4j. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.slf4j.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
