Matt Sicker updated LOG4J2-38:
------------------------------
Component/s: Core
> Add receiver state notification support
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-38
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-38
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Scott Deboy
>
> Specific scenario:
> For (VFS)LogFilePatternReceiver, setting the 'tailing' flag to true means the
> receiver continually tracks the current position in the file, and when the
> file is truncated, it would be helpful to communicate that information back
> to whoever initialized the receiver (in this case, users may want Chainsaw to
> automatically clear the log when that happened, or create a new tab, etc).
> I'm not sure if this feature can or should be generalized, but I've heard
> this request a number of times.
> Maybe this shouldn't be a general concept, maybe a resetableReceiver
> interface would suffice, and the interface would provide
> add/removeResetListener. When the file is truncated, the listener would be
> notified.
> There is already a concept of a VisualReceiver, which allows the same VFS
> receiver to prompt for user login credentials, so a ResetableReceiver or some
> other name would be consistent with the extensions already in place to
> support other interactions with the app managing the receiver.
