Custom Markers

[Priya Ahuja]

Hi,

I am currently using log4j2.0 and I have implemented Marker (SYSLOG_MARKER)
for deciding the destination of a log to be localfile log or syslog. But
with this approach all the existing logs in the system (~5000) will need
manual decision and addition of marker to every single log. Is there a
better way to filter logs at INFO level? I don't want to introduce a new
level.











Thanks,
Priya Ahuja

If I understand you correctly, you have an existing application that logs 
events in about 5000 different places, so you don’t want to have to modify that 
code.

Without modifying the code the only way to filter the events is on somehow  
find something wiithin the message itself. If you can add the marker only to 
the message you want routed.

Gee whiz, that wasn’t very clear.  Let’s try again.

Without modifying the code the only way I can think of to filter the events is 
to find something within the message itself to filter on.  If you can add the 
marker only to the events you want routed then the configuration you have below 
will work. You can also create a special logger just for logging the events 
that are to be routed.  However, both of those require that code be modified.
