[ColdBox 4.3.0] Logbox No appenders

[echo]

Hi, 

I am trying the features in LogBox. I create a database for logbox to write logs to.

In the config: Coldbox.cfc, I have the following setting:

 logBox = {

// Define Appenders

appenders = {

dbLog = {

class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.DBAppender",

            properties = 

            {

                dsn = 'test',

                table = 'logs',

                autocreate = true

          },

            levelMax = "INFO",

            levelMin = "FATAL"

}

},

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

    categories = {

        "dblogger" = { levelMin="FATAL", levelMax= "INFO", appenders="dbLog" }

    },

    OFF = ["coldbox.system"]

};

And then I create an API as followed:

any function index( event, rc, prc ){

log.info("hi there");

writedump("#log.hasAppenders() #");

abort;

prc.response.setData( "Welcome to my ColdBox RESTFul Service" );

} 

I check the database, the logs table is created successfully and the "hi there" info log is created as well.

However, the  #log.hasAppenders() # shows false result. Also when I dump the appenders struct, it shows nothing.

I wonder if there is anything wrong I did about the setting of LogBox. appreciate any help. Thanks a lot!

That's because your logger technically doesn't have any appenders-- but it inherits from the root logger, which does!  Run this:

 

log.getRootLogger().hasAppenders()

 

If you're just using the "log" variable that is made automatically available in your handlers, then you're not actually using the "dblogger" category that you created.  ColdBox will have created a named/category logger called "handlers.yourHandlerName" and all loggers inherit from the root logger, and your root logger has "*" for appenders so that means the root logger is using the "dbLog" appender.

Thanks!
