I have made some modification in the previous code that I had sent and
there is no error or warning while configuration initialization, but logs
are not going to the destination server
But if I try the same thing using log4j2.xml it is working fine.
Below is my updated code:
LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
Configuration config = ctx.getConfiguration();
SyslogAppender syslogAppender =
SyslogAppender.newSyslogAppenderBuilder()
.setName("syslog")
.setProtocol(Protocol.UDP)
.setHost(hostname)
.setPort(port)
.setAppName("service_name")
.setId("service_name")
.setFacility(Facility.LOCAL0)
.setNewLine(true)
.setFormat("RFC5424")
.setIgnoreExceptions(false)
.build();
syslogAppender.start();
config.addAppender(syslogAppender);
RoutingAppender.Builder routingBuilder = RoutingAppender.newBuilder();
routingBuilder.setConfiguration(config);
routingBuilder.setName("RoutingConfig");
Node node = null;
Route[] routeList = new Route[1];
routeList[0] = Route.createRoute("syslog", "domain#client", node);
routingBuilder.withRoutes(
Routes.newBuilder().withPattern("$${ctx:module}")
.withRoutes(routeList)
.build());
RoutingAppender routingAppender = routingBuilder.build();
routingAppender.start();
config.addAppender(routingAppender);
AppenderRef ref = AppenderRef.createAppenderRef("RoutingConfig",
Level.DEBUG, null);
AppenderRef[] refs = new AppenderRef[] { ref };
LoggerConfig loggerConfig = LoggerConfig.newBuilder()
.withAdditivity(false)
.withLevel(Level.DEBUG)
.withLoggerName("RoutingLogger")
.withIncludeLocation("true")
.withRefs(refs)
.withConfig(config)
.build();
LoggerConfig rootLoggerConfig = LoggerConfig.newBuilder()
.withLevel(Level.DEBUG)
.withLoggerName(LogManager.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME)
.withIncludeLocation("true")
.withRefs(refs)
.withConfig(config)
.build();
loggerConfig.addAppender(routingAppender, Level.DEBUG, null);
rootLoggerConfig.addAppender(routingAppender, Level.DEBUG, null);
config.addLogger("RoutingLogger", loggerConfig);
config.addLogger(LogManager.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME, loggerConfig);
ctx.updateLoggers();
Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("RoutingLogger");
ThreadContext.put("module", "domain#client");
logger.info("message from domain client");
logger.error("message form domain client error");
ThreadContext.remove("module");
Please can any one tell me what am I missing in the above programmatic
approach
