Logging configs of ServiceMix have changed for better!!
in the ServiceMix installation directory, open the file /etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg and you’ll find the following:
- 1. Logs of ServiceMix are all recorded in the “/data/log/servicemix.log”
The configuration passed from a simple file appander configuration that looks like this :
# File appender
log4j.appender.out=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.out.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.out.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %-32.32C %4L | %m%n
log4j.appender.out.file=${karaf.base}/data/log/servicemix.log
log4j.appender.out.append=true
To a 1MB max size Rolling file configuration that looks like:
# File appender
log4j.appender.out=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.out.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.out.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %-32.32C %4L | %X{bundle.id} - %X{bundle.name} - %X{bundle.version} | %m%n
log4j.appender.out.file=${karaf.data}/log/servicemix.log
log4j.appender.out.append=true
log4j.appender.out.maxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.out.maxBackupIndex=10
The new functionnality is the “logs per bundle” confuguration , that recored the logs per OSGI Bundle, in sperate files named as the bundles!!
# Sift appender
log4j.appender.sift=org.apache.log4j.sift.MDCSiftingAppender
log4j.appender.sift.key=bundle.name
log4j.appender.sift.default=servicemix
log4j.appender.sift.appender=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.sift.appender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.sift.appender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1} | %-32.32C %4L | %m%n
log4j.appender.sift.appender.file=${karaf.data}/log/$\\{bundle.name\\}.log
log4j.appender.sift.appender.append=true
