Solr is an Apache project that uses slf4j, with log4j 1.2 as the final logging destination.
In one of the classes in Solr, specifically the SolrCore class, these are the loggers defined: private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass()); public static final Logger requestLog = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass().getName() + ".Request"); I would like to define an additional logger like this: private static final Logger slowLog = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass().getName() + ".SlowRequest"); Between the lines below is the log4j.properties file that Solr includes out of the box: ============== # Default Solr log4j config # rootLogger log level may be programmatically overridden by -Dsolr.log.level solr.log=${solr.log.dir} log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, CONSOLE # Console appender will be programmatically disabled when Solr is started with option -Dsolr.log.muteconsole log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p (%t) [%X{collection} %X{shard} %X{replica} %X{core}] %c{1.} %m%n #- size rotation with log cleanup. log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=4MB log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=9 #- File to log to and log format log4j.appender.file.File=${solr.log}/solr.log log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p (%t) [%X{collection} %X{shard} %X{replica} %X{core}] %c{1.} %m%n # Adjust logging levels that should differ from root logger log4j.logger.org.apache.zookeeper=WARN log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop=WARN log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jetty=WARN log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server=INFO log4j.logger.org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector=INFO # set to INFO to enable infostream log messages log4j.logger.org.apache.solr.update.LoggingInfoStream=OFF ============== I would like to add some commented out lines to the stock properties file which will allow a user to uncomment the lines to enable a separate "slow query" logfile. The full logger name would be org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.SlowRequest for these logs. In addition to directing logs for this logger (which will be at the WARN level) to the separate file, the commented config should *remove* those lines from the main solr.log file, if that is possible. I have not been able to determine what configuration would produce these results. Can this list help? One thing I have considered is converting to the XML config format, but I have not been able to locate any resources for making that conversion.
