--------------------------------
Summary: Refactor custom appenders to move dynamic functionality
into managers
Key: GEODE-1275
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1275
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: logging
Reporter: Kirk Lund
Presently Geode dynamically creates, adds and removes AlertAppender and
LogWriterAppender by manipulating log4j2 core API. We should move the bulk of
the Appender functionality to internal Manager classes and just leave the
Appenders registered with log4j2 during the life of the JVM.
This allows us to enable and configure our Appenders via log4j2.xml and control
the Cache-controlled lifecycle completely within our own classes without having
to add and remove custom Appender instances.
The code would then become much more simpler, our custom code would not have to
invoke log4j2 core APIs and a User would have fuller control over configuring
our use of log4j2 via the .xml file.
