PropertyFilter (included in log4j 1.3 alpha) will add properties to every event processed by the filter. This would probably fit the bill in the (possibly distant) future.

While I'm not entirely sure what information it plans on sending to identify the app from any other hostname/ip and class name aren't going to do me a whole lot of good. This is on a cluster. I would like to be able to assign some sort of prefix/postfix to the logger names and go from there. I would also like to do this in such a way that is standard and can be done from the config file. I would like it this way in case I decide to change to something besides jboss (most likely headed to websphere). -----Original Message----- From: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 2:48 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: Filter based on category? If you can use a log4j 1.3-based simplesocketserver (which relies on SocketNode), the HEAD revision of SocketNode adds a 'log4j.remoteSourceInfo' property to the logging event, which could be used to distinguish events from various sources (of course, 1.2.x -> 1.3 over serialized loggingEvent means no location info or MDC support for now).

Ok for a lack of a good universal drawing tool I'm going to do dreaded ascii Applications on a cluster <-> serialized log event <-> socket <-> internet <-> socket server <-> unserialized log event On the socket server I'm looking for an easy way to tell who sent the log event. Is there an easy way to do this by naming the loggers a specific way and how would I handle this in my config? -----Original Message----- From: James Stauffer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 2:26 PM To: Log4J Users List Subject: Re: Filter based on category? That doesn't make sense to me. That sounds wrong. Can you give more details?
