Logging Help [message #1830963]

Hi all,

I'm currently looking into configuring Scout to create log files when events of certain severity or higher occur. I wrote a logger that extends the JUL logger but for the life of me I can't seem to find a way to tell Scout to use that logger instead of the ScoutLogger that comes prepackaged. I've been reading through a lot of posts and different resources in the Scout documentation but it didn't help very much. Is there a clear way to do this?

The only reason I wrote my own class is because I couldn't find a way in the documentation to alter the behavior of ScoutLogger so if there is a way to do that so I can get log files written I would be content with that as well.

Thanks for any help you give!

Hi James,

It shouldn't be necessary to write your own logger class. ScoutLogger can log to any logging framework. For some frameworks logging bridges are already available. By default (e.g. in the Helloworld archetype) logback is used. In your project you should find logback.xml files defining how logging takes place. Look at <myproject>.server.app.dev/src/main/resources/logback.xml for a logging configuration which logs to STDOUT and STDERR and at <myproject>.server.app.war/src/main/resources/logback.xml for an configuration which logs to a file (in this case inside the logs folder of a tomcat installation).
