Logging Configurations (Log4j)

In Log4j, a logger associates a runtime object with an appender, specifies the types of events to be logged, and whether to pass messages to a parent logger. A logger is an ancestor of another logger if its name (followed by a dot) is a prefix of the descendant logger name. A logger is a parent of a child logger if there are no ancestors between itself and the descendant logger.

For example, com.tibco is a parent of com.tibco.silver. The logging level is specified for each appender that belongs to a logger. This lets a logger send logs to a different destination with a different level. You can use the Application Configurator interface to create loggers and appenders and to add appenders to existing loggers.

You can upload the same log configuration file from TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x in Application Configurator. TIBCO recommends that you use the Application Configurator to edit the log4j.xml file instead of using a text editor.
