Hi Ralph, All the request and response messages, some header data, with additional information, are placed in an MDC, packaged in an Appender and sent to an MQ queue which, ultimately, makes a call to the service. It's a centralized logging model for all the applications in a cluster. Frankly, I

So the app logs to JMS, not SOAP. Later you have something else that consumes the queue and calls the WS, but that would not be done by Log4j. Or are you suggesting that Log4j should be able to consume from a Q and call a WS? Gary On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 10:15 AM, Evan J

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Not necessarily. Remember that the people who read these logs are not in the processing loop, and therefore do not slow down the process, What is required is an asynchronous thread or process to do the soap transfer during off cycles, and storage to receive the

You couldn't build log4j 2.0? What version of Maven are you using? Are you using a custom ~/.m2/settings.xml file? On 1 May 2014 08:47, walter_mar...@dellteam.com wrote: Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Could not build clean target for 1.2.17, could not build install target for 2.0. In

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential There are several architectural options . The cleanest might be to make a custom appender, and then do the queue removal and transport with a thread within Log4j itself. This has the advantage of not disturbing the current setup and interface for local logging

What you are describing is why I added the integration to Flume. It is very, very good at collecting log events and forwarding them. However, you could use a JMS appender to write your events to the MQ queue. Ralph On May 1, 2014, at 7:15 AM, Evan J maps.this.addr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi

I guarantee you, on a busy system with lots of logging sending a SOAP message for every event will be a problem. If they are being bundled so that multiple events are sent in each request that will perform better but could result in losing all the events that are buffered. Ralph On May 1,

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential What is needed is not only bundling which is a form of buffering, but also process overlap so that the transfers are held up to a point where the processing is more quiet And more cycles are available. Offloading to another processor using tux also

Yes, persistent buffering can prevent the data loss but adds to the complexity. The Flume Appender does that. I will take a look at the scribe appender when I get a chance. Ralph On May 1, 2014, at 8:39 AM, Michael Wechner michael.wech...@wyona.com wrote: Am 01.05.14 17:18, schrieb Ralph
