This is great information to know. Our installations are on AIX boxes however. Joleen On Mar 10, 2016 10:31 PM, "George Stanchev" wrote: > If you run tomcat via the windows server wrapper, you can > > "%TOMCAT_EXE%" //US//%TOMCAT_SERVICE_NAME% --StdOutput >

RE: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

If you run tomcat via the windows server wrapper, you can "%TOMCAT_EXE%" //US//%TOMCAT_SERVICE_NAME% --StdOutput "%TOMCAT_CONSOLE_LOG%" --StdError "%TOMCAT_CONSOLE_LOG%" Which will redirect the stderr and stdoout to the corresponding log files George -Original Message- From: Joleen

Thanks for the tips. I have to use the perl program for now to accomplish the task for the company but l'll continue to work this for the sake of learning and getting this changed through to application. Joleen On Mar 10, 2016 7:42 PM, "Konstantin Kolinko" wrote: >

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

So are you suggesting to remove the ConsoleAppender from the log4j.properties that the vendor has in the WEB-INF/classes directory? Joleen On Mar 10, 2016 7:17 PM, "Konstantin Kolinko" wrote: > 2016-03-08 18:43 GMT+03:00 Christopher Schultz < >

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

Yes, I agree. I changed the file name in the default tomcat appender to be called tomcat and the one in the log4j file in the classes is called cfcc which makes more sense as that is the web applications context name. I'll keep plugging at it. I really thank you for your help. -Joleen On Tue,

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

Hello Christopher, I thank you for your comments. I had changed the swallowOutput=true back when I changed the default tomcat logging to use the log4j properties files. I did rename the cfcc log I had to read tomcat and it comes up and captures the starting/stopping details but that's about it.

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

One more thing I tried was to change the parent for the rootlogger from CFCC to be CONSOLE to attempt to make it to where my log was not the parent and it still didn't change it. I am getting 0 messages in my cfcc log and everything still going to catalina.out. I know I'm so close to figuring

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

There is a comment that says: #stdout is set to be a ConsoleAppender But I changed the "stdout" that was set as the parent to CFCC so I thought then everything would go to the parent but I don't receive any of the logs. My cfcc log is just about empty except for the startup details. So I went

Re: Understanding how to controlling what data is written to log4j appenders

I forgot to tell Chuck that the swallowOutput parm is set to true in the context. When you see the vendor's log4j.properties you will see why there were so many messages still going to the catalina.out due to them using stdout. -Joleen On Mon, Mar 7, 2016 at 12:31 PM, Joleen Barker

Hello, I don't know if I should use a new thread or not but this is a continuation of this issue. I found that even after my changes there was very little being written to my new log and there were still many of the product messages being written to the catalina.out. It has now come to my

Hello Konstantin, Thank you for pointing out the typo. The line is actually correct in my log4j.properties file and the typo happened when I typed the line in for my settings. I don't know what additivity flag is so I will take a look. I'll let you know how it goes. -Joleen On Thu, Dec 3,
