There is a way to print different layout for different log level? For example:
logger.warn("Message");
print something like this: 2016-06-20 13:34:41,245 INFO (main:) Message
and for logger.info("Message2");
print just: Message2
Is possible to do that? To define one layout to warn e other layout for info
log4j.properties
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout
# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=log4j.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n %d %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n
# 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 %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n
I haven't tested but it should work. If you define two appenders and you assign a pattern for each appenders. Then the keyword Threshold should filter the level
:
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, fileWarning, fileInfo, stdout
log4j.appender.fileWarning=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileWarning.File=log4j.log
log4j.appender.fileWarning.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.fileWarning.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.fileWarning.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileWarning.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n %d %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n
log4j.appender.fileWarning.Threshold=WARNING
log4j.appender.fileInfo=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileInfo.File=log4j.log
log4j.appender.fileInfo.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.fileInfo.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.fileInfo.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileInfo.layout.ConversionPattern=%m%n
log4j.appender.fileInfo.Threshold=INFO
Hope it's help.

I am using log4j to print the log using java but my log messages not visible in catlina.out file bello is my .properties file
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, 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
please help
ConsoleAppender logs to the console. So you should use another appender, for example, FileAppender.
Everything works just as fine. But showing this error.
My log4j.properties file like :
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, 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.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.file.File=D:\\log4j-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
Thanks in advance. Just tell me how to do it. I just want log file on daily rolling .
DailyRollingFileAppender doesn't support MaxFileSize, RollingFileAppender does.
DailyRollingFileAppender is for rolling files based on the date and time of the log entry, so if you want to use it you should remove the MaxFileSize property.
I changed the code to
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
from
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
and it worked fine in log4j.properties file
I am working on log4j with Java. I am redirecting all my applications logger messages to a specific folder inside my project like this:
logs/log4j-MyFirstClass.log
If I want to redirect specific file messages to specific log file, for ex: ABC.java logger messages to ABC.log file, then how should I change this log4J.properties file ? Please help. Here is my log4j.properties file:
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, 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=logs/log4j-MyFirstClass.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10

log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
You need to define an appender for each file, then specify which packages use which appender.
# Root logger option; everything logs to console at debug
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
# Classes in package com.foo.bar will use the file1 appender
log4j.logger.com.foo.bar=file1
# Classes in package com.whizz.bang will use the file2 appender, note we also overrode the default log level
log4j.logger.com.whizz.bang=DEBUG, file2
# 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
# Appender for file 1
log4j.appender.file1=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file1.File=logs/log4j-first.log
log4j.appender.file1.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file1.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Appender for file 2
log4j.appender.file2=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file2.File=logs/log4j-second.log
log4j.appender.file2.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file2.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout, A1
log4j.logger.org.apache.jsp=ALL, stdout, A1
# 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} [%p] [%c:%L] - %m%n

Most of the time I define several appenders... one for Console and some others into files. But most of the time I used the same layout for the output.
Is there a way to define a default one ?
Something like that ?
log4j.appender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] [%c:%L] - %m%n
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, stdout, A1
log4j.logger.org.apache.jsp=ALL, stdout, A1
PATTERN=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] %l - %m%n
# 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=${PATTERN}
# LOG4J daily rolling log files configuration
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File=logs/file.log
log4j.appender.A1.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=${PATTERN}
It seems that the only way to do this is to set a variable, as I've done with PATTERN=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%p] %l - %m%n
I was trying to route my Logging to two different files: one for INFO messages and another one for ERRORs. LevelMatchFilter seemed the right way to go. Unfortunately, all messages are logged to my info.log, not just the INFO messages. Any ideas what I did wrong?
Here's my config:
# Define the root logger with appender file
log4j.logger.com.my.class.ClassName=DEBUG, FILE, ERR, CA
# Define the info file appender
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=info.log
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a.LevelToMatch=INFO
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a.AcceptOnMatch=true
# Define the layout for info file appender
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%d %-5p %c - %m%n
# Define the error file appender
log4j.appender.ERR=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.ERR.File=error.log
log4j.appender.ERR.Threshold=ERROR
# Define the layout for error file appender
log4j.appender.ERR.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ERR.layout.conversionPattern=%d %-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.CA=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CA.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p %c - %m%n
I think your file appender config should look something like this:
# Define the info file appender
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=info.log
log4j.appender.FILE.Threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a.LevelToMatch=INFO
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.a.AcceptOnMatch=true
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.b=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.b.LevelToMatch=ERROR
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.b.AcceptOnMatch=false
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.c=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.c.LevelToMatch=FATAL
log4j.appender.FILE.filter.c.AcceptOnMatch=false
I finally get a solution (using filters) to a similar problem without making an external XML file, here is the resulting code:
log4j.rootLogger=info, R, ERROR
#### only INFO
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=FacturaElectronica.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=500KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.R.filter.a=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter
log4j.appender.R.filter.a.LevelMin=INFO
log4j.appender.R.filter.a.LevelMax=INFO
#### only ERROR
log4j.appender.ERROR=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ERROR.File=FacturaElectronicaError.txt
log4j.appender.ERROR.MaxFileSize=500KB
log4j.appender.ERROR.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.ERROR.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ERROR.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.ERROR.filter.b=org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelMatchFilter
log4j.appender.ERROR.filter.b.LevelToMatch=ERROR
log4j.appender.ERROR.filter.b.AcceptOnMatch=true
log4j.appender.ERROR.Threshold=ERROR
LevelMatchFilter has nothing to do with what you need.
You need to define 2 loggers, one will have the ERR appender and the other the FILE appender:
log4j.logger.my.info.logger=INFO, FILE
log4j.logger.my.err.logger=ERROR, ERR
And in the code you need to provide the logger name when you initialize the logger:
static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("my.info.logger");
