[jira] [Updated] (GEODE-8077) Logging to Standard Out
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Aaron Lindsey updated GEODE-8077: - Description: The description below is from RFC [Logging to Standard Out|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Logging+to+Standard+Out] {quote} h2. Problem Currently logging to stdout is not consistent between client, server and locator. If {{log-file}} is {{null}} on a client then it will log to stdout by default, but on servers and locators it will log to a file named after the member. Setting the {{log-file}} to {{""}} (empty string) on the server will result in logging to stdout, but on a locator it is treated like the {{null}} case and logs to a file. The only way get the locator to log to stdout is to override the log4j.xml file. h3. Anti-Goals Do not change the current default behavior in client, server, or locators when handling {{null}} or {{""}} (empty string). h2. Solution Introduce a new value {{log-file}} of "-" (dash) to indicate standard out, which is a common standard across most applications. When the logger is configured and thee {{log-file}} value is {{""}} then the logger will log to standard out and not to any files. h3. Changes and Additions to Public Interface Changes will be needed in documentation to reference this new value for logging to standard out. h3. Performance Impact As no changes will be made to logging itself there is not impact to performance. h3. Backwards Compatibility and Upgrade Path Since no changes are being made to the current behaviors there should be no impact to rolling upgrades and backwards compatibility. {quote} was: The description below is from RFC [Logging to Standard Out |[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Logging+to+Standard+Out]] {quote} h2.
