Take a look in $VIRGO_HOME/config/serviceability.xml

This is a standard logback configuration file. Modify by adding more appenders and rout as needed

i added the following lines to the xml file :

<appender name="SIFTED_LOG_STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">
		<discriminator>
			<Key>applicationName</Key>
			<DefaultValue>virgo-server</DefaultValue>
		</discriminator>
		<sift>
			<appender name="${applicationName}_LOG_STDOUT" class="org.eclipse.virgo.medic.log.logback.ReroutingAwareConsoleAppender">
				<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
					<Pattern>[%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}] %-28.28thread %-64.64logger{64} %X{medic.eventCode} %msg %ex%n</Pattern>
				</encoder>
			</appender>
		</sift>
	</appender>

So now i'm getting all applications logs on console, is there a way to put filter to get just tomcat's logs ?

Which "tomcat" logs are looking at?

Do you want to see logs of the application deployed in tomcat?
Do you want to see actual log statements generated by tomcat code base?
Do you want to see access logs for http requests served by tomcat?

Take a look here for logback documentation => http://logback.qos.ch/manual/index.html

In addition to the appender you will need a <logger/> element.
In logger element you can specify package (i.e. name) attribute) and an appender to use for that package.

Dmitry
