Hello, LogKit is in the Attic for a while now. What about dropping it in favor of a more up to date Logging library: - Apache Log4J2 which has great performances now - SLF4+LogBack which is also nice - Commons-logging
I see many benefits: - Drop an outdated library (I think it's never a good thing to rely on unmaintained libraries, it can be a security issue, it can make newbies think that JMeter is not maintained nor up to date) - Performances of Log4j2 are now outstanding - There a nice useful API that we could use to concat and variabilize logging messages provided : * https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/messages.html * https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/manual/thread-context.html Switching is not a big deal although it impacts a lot of classes on the line: - private static final Logger log = LoggingManager.getLoggerForClass(); We could make the changes to LoggingManager so that it is able to reuse current logging setup configuration and allow configuration from a usual configuration file as per the chosen library. Thoughts ? Regards Philippe M. @philmdot
