----------------------------------------
Summary: Recursive call to appender error using Flume appender
Key: LOG4J2-240
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-240
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
Environment: Ubuntu 12
Reporter: Robbie Strickland
I am using Log4j2 with the Flume appender with the following configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration status="debug" name="ALI" packages="">
<appenders>
<Flume name="eventLogger" suppressExceptions="false" compress="false">
<Agent host="localhost" port="4141"/>
<RFC5424Layout enterpriseNumber="18060" includeMDC="true"
appName="com.weather.ali"/>
</Flume>
<RollingFile name="VTECs" fileName="logs/vtecs.log"
filePattern="logs/$${date:yyyy-MM}/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
<PatternLayout>
<pattern>[%d{ISO8601}] %m%n</pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="250 MB"/>
</Policies>
</RollingFile>
</appenders>
<loggers>
<root level="debug">
<appender-ref ref="eventLogger"/>
</root>
<logger name="VTEC" level="debug">
<appender-ref ref="VTECs"/>
</logger>
</loggers>
</configuration>
This works as expected on a couple nodes, but the remaining nodes produce the
following error:
ERROR Recursive call to appender eventLogger

Why would this work on some nodes and not on others? I have looked at the code
where this error is generated, and it appears to get called whenever the
appender code gets called more than once. I see no reason why this should
happen.
