Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4J2-3332:
---------------------------------------
I intercepted Transport.send because I couldn't get Dumbster to process
messages with attachments. Mocking/intercepting is a lot faster than actually
sending the mail to Dumbster.
> SmtpAppender: add capability to send buffered messages as an email attachment
> (text, zip, gzip)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3332
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Appenders
> Reporter: Ron Grabowski
> Assignee: Ron Grabowski
> Priority: Minor
>
> Sending hundreds of buffered messages in an email body makes it difficult to
> view messages in a more traditional text (fixed font) view. Introduce new
> parameters that default to current behavior:
> * attachEvents: true/false (defaults to false)
> * attachEventsCompression: none/zip/gzip (defaults to none)
> In the first iteration the filename will be "logEvents":
> * logEvents.txt
> * logEvents,txt.zip
> * logEvents.html.zip
> * logEvents.txt.gz
> * logEvents.html.gz
> Settings like compression level will not be settable. Enhanced compression
> settings (bzip2, xz, pack200, deflate) will likely not be included.
> This ticket will not add support for a timer to flush events.
> Change will occur in SmtpManager.
