Do it like the following.  Then it will be easy to send the audit logs
to another location.

final static Logger _logger = Logger.getLogger(ReferenceDataDaoImpl.class);
final static Logger _auditor =
Logger.getLogger("audit."ReferenceDataDaoImpl.class.getName());

Hi,

i have a requirement to audit events to a database table. I thought of
using the log4j JdbcAppender to do this but the issue i have is there's
auditing and there's debugging.

For example,

logger.debug("Value of variable is now:{}",aVariable); // this is not
needed for auditing
logger.debug("Successful logon for username:{}",userName); // this
should end up in the audit table

My current configuration of log4j is to declare a class-specific logger
in each class that needs logging:

final static Logger _logger = Logger.getLogger(ReferenceDataDaoImpl.class);

I could use this logger and utilise thresholds and have audit events
triggered by calling logger.error() but that does not seem a very clean
approach.

Another idea is to declare an additional logger to be used for auditing:

final static Logger _logger = Logger.getLogger(ReferenceDataDaoImpl.class);
final static Logger _auditor = Logger.getLogger(ReferenceDataDaoImpl.class);

and have that logger use JdbcAppender. Or maybe one global logger for
auditing?

What do you guys think?

Cheers

Rakesh
