Matej Vitásek updated LOG4J2-252:
---------------------------------
Description:
I am using Log4j 2 for a Tomcat web application to send me an e-mail whenever
an ERROR occurs. Usually, more than one error is produced at one time, and I
get a lot of e-mails over a period of a few seconds.
It would be great if the SMTPAppender could cluster more events into one mail.
Of course, one has to be sure that Log4j 2 is not waiting too long to send me
the errors, which could be solved by a timeout setting.
So I propose the following: add a new timeout setting to the SMTPAppender.
Whenever an event that would trigger sending a mail occurs, wait for timeout
seconds and bundle whatever else events occur into this mail. Only then send
the mail.
