Seperate log files using LogBox

[Daniel Mejia]

Can I get some help setting up seperate log files. In my config I
have:

//LogBox DSL
logBox = {
// Define Appenders
appenders = {
coldboxTracer =
{ class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.ColdboxTracerAppender" },
coldboxFile = {

class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.AsyncRollingFileAppender",
properties={filePath="logs",
fileName="orders",
autoExpand=true,
fileMaxSize=2000,
fileMaxArchives=2}
}
},
// Root Logger
root = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="*" },
// Implicit Level Categories
info = [ "coldbox.system" ]
};
and when I use the following this inserts the log into /logs/
orders.log

getPlugin("Logger").logEntry("information","Successful -
#OrderStruct.details#","");

I added
coldboxFile2 = {

class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.AsyncRollingFileAppender",
properties={filePath="logs",
fileName="login",
autoExpand=true,
fileMaxSize=2000,
fileMaxArchives=2}
}
but how do I call the plugin logger so that it inserts the log into /
logs/login.log?

You need to define new logger - right now you have root logger:

root = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="*" }

add new one:

myLog = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="coldboxFile2" }

So this new logger with use only new appender.
You can call it in multiple ways:

With wirebox:
logbox:myLog

Or from controller:
getController().getLogBox().getLogger("myLog")

Good luck,

Thanks. I can now get specific log files.

In config I have two difined loggers:

root = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="*" },
mylog = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="coldboxFile2" }

root logger logs everything, so I thought could do this so that only
mylog logs what I trigger:
root = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="coldboxTracer,coldboxFile" },
mylog = { levelmax="INFO", appenders="coldboxFile2" }

but now mylog doesn't log anything and root still logs everything.

Is root logger suppose to log everything even if you use different
appenders for specific logging?

No, it's there as the default logger that every other logger inherits from it. You can set it up with whatever appenders you want, and at run time the log levels of the logger and appenders in combination (most restrictive) will decide what actualy gets logged.

Feel free to create as many named loggers as you want to meet your logging needs. Logger names (or categories) can be named anything you want, but they are intended to be dot-delimited paths like your CFC packages.

In your config, if you name your logger categories things like:

"coldbox.system"
"com.mysite.prducts"
"com.mysite.security"
"com.mysite.security.permssionBean"

Then you can inject "logbox:logger:{this}" into your CFCs which automatically names the logger after the full component path and inherits its settings from the closest named logging category. That way you an control logging settings in an entire package (ex. "com.mysite.security") by changing the settings for that logging category in your config.
