Hello,
LOG4J.
I'm attempting to
correlate enterprise logs using LOG4J MDC/NDC. I've reasoned that I need the
following values in every message to correlate:
- Guaranteed unique
session identifier (correlates many requests)
- Guaranteed unique
request identifier (correlates many logs in a request)
- Guaranteed unique
nested identifier (correlates many logs within a request that make up a context
such as an EJB call or Web Service call)
This all seems fine
and well until I actually began to correlate - I couldn't find any easy way to
make the correlation happen.
So I would like to
pose the following questions:
- Are there
graphical tools that show the flow of logging events? Across JVMs? Across
multiple web requests?
- What are the best
practices for generating "correlation friendly" logging
events?
- Is there a means
in LOG4J to guarantee uniqueness of logging events across
JVMs?
Thanks!
