Marnie McCormack reassigned QPID-13:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Marnie McCormack
> Add option to include prefix and suffix in log file name for broker
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-13
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-13
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java Broker
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Marnie McCormack
> Assigned To: Marnie McCormack
>
> An end user has requested the ability to use the process id in the log file
> name for the broker. This could make testing easier for the test team here by
> allowing them to identify logs with processes.
> In fact, it would probably be better to allow users to set any system
> property that they qish to be used in the log file name. This would also
> avoid our current scenario where two brokers on the same host will log to the
> same file, rendering it unreadable in any useful way.
> So, if they set a given system property name at runtime i.e. logprefix or
> logsuffix then the log4j.xml config will pick that up and use it.
> If these properties are not set then the log name will remain as it currently
> is i.e. qpid.log. However if they set, for example, the prefix to the pid
> (2701) and the suffix to the servername (myhost) then the log name could be
> something like 2701qpidmyhost.log.
> To set the pid as a system property need to add a -D to the java command that
> starts the broker i.e. -Dlogprefix=$$ (on unix). Might be more complex on
> linux and involve reading the /proc/self/stat file. More details on this
> shortly .......
