[ColdBox 4.3.0] Logging to different files

[Pascal Peters]

Hi,

I want to log from different places in my application to different log files:

• models.UserService to userLog
• security module to securityLog
• error handler to appLog

The logger is always injected using inject = "logbox:logger:{this}".

The issue I have is that all my messages are always logged in the 3 log files instead of 1 specific log file.

Can anybody tell me what I am missing?

This is my config LogBox.cfc

component{


 // Configure LogBox
 function configure(){
 
 //LogBox DSL
 logBox = {
     // Define Appenders
     appenders = {
             coldboxTracer = { class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.ConsoleAppender" },

             coldboxLog = {

                class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.FileAppender",
                properties = {
                    filepath = "/logs/",
                    filename = "appLog"
                 }
             },
       userLog = {
         class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.FileAppender",
         properties = {
             filepath = "/logs/",
             filename = "userLog"
         }
       },
       securityLog = {
         class="coldbox.system.logging.appenders.FileAppender",
         properties = {
             filepath = "/logs/",
             filename = "securityLog"
         }
       }
     }
     // Root Logger
     ,root = { levelMin='FATAL', levelMax='ERROR', appenders="coldboxTracer" }
     // categories
     ,categories = {
          models.UserService = { levelMin = "INFO", levelMax = "INFO", appenders = "userLog" },
          modules_app.security = { levelMin = "INFO", levelMax = "INFO", appenders = "securityLog" },
          handlers.error = { levelMin='FATAL', levelMax = "WARN", appenders = "coldboxLog" }
     }
   };
 
 }


}

Thx

Can you show us an example log message from each category.  my guess is the logging categories are not what you expect, so they're hitting the root logger.

Thanks!

"Severity","Appender","Date","Time","Category","Message"

"ERROR","COLDBOXLOG","09/14/2017","16:04:31","handlers.Error","CFErrorType=expression  CFMessage=variable [GENERATEERROR] doesn't exist ..."

"INFO","COLDBOXLOG","09/14/2017","16:04:42","models.UserService","Update: User with id 10007 {""department_id"":""2"",""lastName"":""User"",""firstName"":""Test"",""user_id"":""10007"",""email"":""te...@stepstone.com""}"

"INFO","COLDBOXLOG","09/14/2017","16:04:48","modules_app.security.handlers.Login","Logging out user ad...@stepstone.com"

The "Appender" is different in each file (COLDBOXLOG, SECURITYLOG or USERLOG) but otherwise they are identical

Hmm, that all looks in order to be honest.  At this point I'd try one of two things:

 

1) Simply your config by reducing to one appender and one category to test and see if it works then

2) Dig into the LogBox code with dump/aborts and start tracing the sucker through to see where it's going wrong.

 

Maybe start with the first and confirm that your loggers that you're using have the correct category that you expect.  log.getCategory()

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the input. I started debugging and found the issue. It is in the definition of the categories. I need to put quotes around category names if they contain dots. Otherwise it wil create nested keys that won't come up in the hierarchy lookup and I get the config from the root logger.

So the solution was

,categories = {

"models.UserService" = { levelMin = "INFO", levelMax = "INFO", appenders = "userLog" },

"modules_app.security" = { levelMin = "INFO", levelMax = "INFO", appenders = "securityLog" },

"handlers.error" = { levelMin='FATAL', levelMax = "WARN", appenders = "coldboxLog" }

}

Thx for your time

Pascal
