Always I try to use a formal and structurized log api is a nightmare (this explains why so many people just print to console)
I'm trying to use log4j in my project
to instantiate the logger I do:
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Instagram.class.getPackage().getName());
when I want to register an event I do:
log.info("some information");
I've a log4j.properties file in the src folder like:
log4j.logger.com.tomatechines.instagramapi.api = INFO, CONSOLE, FILE, ERROR
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, FILE, ERROR
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.DatePattern = yyyy-MM-dd'.log'
log4j.appender.FILE.File = logs/log-
log4j.appender.FILE.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p %C{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.ERROR=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ERROR.DatePattern = yyyy-MM-dd'.log'
log4j.appender.ERROR.File = logs/errorlog-
log4j.appender.ERROR.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ERROR.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p %C{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.ERROR.Threshold=WARN
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.conversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p %C{1}:%L - %m%n
but when the code runs the only thing printed to console or file is:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.tomatechines.instagramapi.api).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
why it doesn't find my file, I set 3 appenders and why can't it find just one
First of all, I can see that you are using SLF4J with log4j 1.2.x, because you are instantiating the logger with LoggerFactory.getLogger. If you want to use only log4j 1.2.x you should get the logger with Logger.getLogger. Making sure that you have imported the classes from org.apache.log4j package.
You must also make sure that you have put the log4j.properties file under the classpath. And in my opinion you should try first with a very simple configuration, to avoid configuration problems. Something like:
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
Probably your problem is about the location of log4j.properties file.

I have to perform basic logging on my application for which I am using Log4j. I have set up log.properties file inside resource folder with desired configuration but am getting the following warning when I try to log information
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.MyClass).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
This is my property file located under resource folder :
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, ERROR, stdout, file
# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=./resources/application.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
This is what my project structure looks like :
src
-> main
-> java
....
-> resources
--> log.properties
Every folder is present in java build path of the project as well.
This is how am calling just to test:
public class Demo {
final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Demo.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
logger.debug("demo");
}
}
Can u try to rename the file to log4j.properties and also
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,ERROR stdout, file
line should have either debug or error not both
I'm using log4j for my final project. I tested it using single class before I used log4j in my project. That worked fine.
Then I added log4j to my project and I used it in many classes using:
final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Supplier.class);
Then I got a warning:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (classes.Supplier).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
This is my properties file:
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, errorfile
# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.errorfile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\HardwareLog\\INFO.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.errorfile=C:\\HardwareLog\\ERROR.log
log4j.appender.errorfile.Threshhold=ERROR
log4j.appender.errorfile.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.errorfile.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.errorfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.errorfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
Do I have to create appenders for each class to use it?
Can I use one properties file in different packages ?
I found a solution. I removed root logger and added two loggers for my two packages.
log4j.logger.package1=DEBUG,FIRST
log4j.logger.package2=DEBUG,SECOND
now its working fine.
you can go for root logger that will log for the entire application.
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file
plese go through this link
https://www.mkyong.com/logging/log4j-log4j-properties-examples/
My log4j.properties file is pasted below. My understanding is that we need to add Appenders to the root logger for the appender to work. As you can see in the below properties file, only appender A is attached to the root logger (log4j.rootLogger=info, A). However, what I see is that the logging information is printed to both the appenders (ConsoleAppender - A and File Appender - B). How is this possible?
log4j.rootLogger=info, A
log4j.appender.A=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] [rid=%X{RID} ] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.B=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.B.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.B.file=target/server.log
log4j.appender.B.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
Well, it turns out that the Console appender (A) was printing out to the server.log (glassfish log) which incidentally is also the name of the log file associated with appender B.
The following property was attached to the glassfish server (startup parameters) which helped me understand which log4j.properties (in case of stray properties file) file is loaded along with information like what appenders are used for logging.
-Dlog4j.debug=true
I'm using log4j 1.2 and I need to:
log everything (including logging from referenced libraries) to console
log from my code to file (and maybe to console)
Using the following code:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CONSOLE
log4j.com.mypackage=ALL, CONSOLE, CSV
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.Target=System.err
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.conversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p - %m%n
log4j.appender.CSV=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.CSV.File=./myfile.csv
log4j.appender.CSV.Append=false
log4j.appender.CSV.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CSV.layout.conversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p - %m%n
The logfile is not created.
Other try I done:
If I add CSV appender to rootLogger, then the file is created and filled.
If I add CSV appender to rootLogger and disable it, then the file is just created.
If I log only my logger to console... the it works fine
Do you have any idea to solve?
Thanks
You are missing an important part.
The value has to be
log4j.logger.com.mypackage
Note that you are missing logger in the log definition
I have a problem and an uncertainty relating to using Log4j.
I can't write the log to a file. I only get a warning that says:
log4j:WARN No such property [file] in org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender.
Logging to console works fine.
I want to store the log file outside the context root. In this case, would I hard code the absolute path into the properties file? Sorry if that's a dumb question.
Log4j.properties
# Root logger option
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, file, stdout
# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=/Users/me/Documents/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/wtpwebapps/my_app/log.txt
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
LogInit.java
String root = Environment.getRootDirectory(getServletContext());
String propertiesUri = root + propertiesUriParameter;
File propertiesFile = new File(propertiesUri);
if (!propertiesFile.exists())
{
System.out.println("Initializing log4j with: " + propertiesUri);
PropertyConfigurator.configure(propertiesUri);
}
Change this from :
log4j.appender.file.File=Users/Me/Documents/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/wtpwebapps/my_app/log.txt
To
log4j.appender.file.File=/Users/Me/Documents/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/wtpwebapps/my_app/log.txt
And make sure below path exists
/Users/Me/Documents/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/wtpwebapps/my_app/
