log4cxx SocketAppender

Hello,

how to setup the log4cxx SocketAppender to receive log messages in Log4View ?
I use the DOMConfigurator configuration.

Here is my sample config:

<appender name="socketAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender">
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
     
    </layout>
   
   
   
</appender>

<root>
    <priority value="all" />
    <appender-ref ref="socketAppender"/>
</root>


Best regards

Andreas

Dear Andreas,

unfortunatelly, we do not have personal experience with log4cxx. Nevertheless, as the configuration should be somewhat log4j conform, could you please try using the following config?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

  <appender name="SocketAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender">
    <param name="Port" value="9133"/>
    <param name="RemoteHost" value="127.0.0.1"/>
    <param name="ReconnectionDelay" value="30000"/>
  </appender>

  <root>
    <priority value="all" />
    <appender-ref ref="SocketAppender"/>
  </root>

</log4j:configuration>

Yours sincerely

I use log4j2 and the following configuration does not work.

    Socket:
      name: Socket_Appender
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 9133
      protocol: TCP

  Loggers:

      Root:
        level: debug
        AppenderRef:
          - ref: Socket_Appender

The socket connection has been established but the log4view is not showing the log entries

Dear Marinko,

we could recreate your problem. It seems like log4j2 is unfortunately not supported by our logic at the moment. We will evaluate the support of log4j2 in future versions of Log4View.

Is this still and issue with the latest version?

You are still not supporting the log4j2 events xml format. All you need to do is to adjust the XmlParser you actually use

Here the xsd format https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/resources/Log4j-events.xsd

Here the configuration of the log4j2 which supports the XMLLayout

Configuration:
  Appenders:
    Console:
      name: Console_Appender
      target: SYSTEM_OUT
      PatternLayout:
        Pattern: "%d %-5p %C{3} (%F:%L) - %m%n"
    Socket:
      name: Socket_Appender
      host: 127.0.0.1
      port: 4447
      protocol: TCP
      XMLLayout:
        complete: true
  Loggers:
    Root:
      level: debug
      AppenderRef:
      - ref: Socket_Appender
      - ref: Console_Appender

I have created a Log4View plugin which is supporting log4j2 socketappender

https://github.com/marinkobabic/log4view-log4jreceiver

Any way to get it in the official product?

Thanks
Marinko

Hi Mario,

please send us the plugin to support@prosa.biz and we will look over it.
When it fits in our software design, we would love to integrate it into Log4View.

Thank you!
