Configure Rollingfile loggers in log4j2.properties

[#1]

Below is how we can enable RollingFile loggers in log4j2

## Default Appender ##
appender.rolling.type=RollingFile
appender.rolling.name=IIQRFile
appender.rolling.fileName=C:/SailpointLogs/sailpoint.log
appender.rolling.filePattern=C:/SailpointLogs/sailpoint-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz
appender.rolling.layout.type=PatternLayout
## OOTB pattern is '%d{ISO8601} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n' ##
appender.rolling.layout.pattern=%d{DEFAULT} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.rolling.policies.type=Policies
appender.rolling.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.rolling.policies.size.size=200MB
appender.rolling.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.rolling.strategy.max=15

## Same as Default Appender, we will use this appender in case where we need the logs generated sperately from the default loggger appender IIQRFile ##
appender.specificFile.type=RollingFile
appender.specificFile.name=IIQSpecificFile
appender.specificFile.fileName=C:/SailpointLogs/Specific/specific.log
appender.specificFile.filePattern=C:/SailpointLogs/Specific/specific-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz
appender.specificFile.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.specificFile.layout.pattern=%d{DEFAULT} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.specificFile.policies.type=Policies
appender.specificFile.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.specificFile.policies.size.size=200MB
appender.specificFile.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.specificFile.strategy.max=15

## Sailpoint Console Appender same as default, this will be used to log console ##
appender.consoleFile.type=RollingFile
appender.consoleFile.name=IIQConsoleFile
appender.consoleFile.fileName=C:/SailpointLogs/SailpointConsole/console.log.gz
appender.consoleFile.filePattern=C:/SailpointLogs/SailpointConsole/console-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log
appender.consoleFile.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.consoleFile.layout.pattern=%d{DEFAULT} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.consoleFile.policies.type=Policies
appender.consoleFile.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.consoleFile.policies.size.size=200MB
appender.consoleFile.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.consoleFile.strategy.max=15

Below appender can be added if we need to have a separate logger that will only logs error 

## Error Only Appender ##
appender.error.type=RollingFile
appender.error.name=IIQErrorFile
appender.error.fileName=C:/SailpointLogs/Error/error.log
appender.error.filePattern=C:/SailpointLogs/Error/error-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log
appender.error.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.error.layout.pattern=%d{DEFAULT} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.error.policies.type=Policies
appender.error.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.error.policies.size.size=200MB
appender.error.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.error.strategy.max=15
appender.error.filter.threshold.type=LevelRangeFilter
appender.error.filter.threshold.minLevel=error
appender.error.filter.threshold.maxLevel=error

Now after listing all the appenders, below is how you have to add the entries in the rootLogger to work with all your appenders

#######################################
## rootLogger specify all appender rollings used by your log4j2
#######################################

rootLogger.level=warn
## Only appenderRef that has been used in log4j2, Here we are using all that are part of this example ##
rootLogger.appenderRefs=IIQRFile,IIQErrorFile,IIQSpecificFile,IIQConsoleFile
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref=stdout

## Specify the default appenderRef and error appenderRef to automate logging ##
rootLogger.appenderRef.rolling.ref=IIQRFile

## To log errors by default ##
rootLogger.appenderRef.error.ref=IIQErrorFile

Below is how we will enable IIQ console logger in IIQConsoleFile appender

#######################################
## SailPoint Console loggers iiq.bat console
#######################################

logger.spConsole.name=sailpoint.server.SailPointConsole
logger.spConsole.level=all
## remove the below 2 lines if you want to log in default IIQRFile appender ##
logger.spConsole.additivity=false
logger.spConsole.appenderRef.connector.ref=IIQConsoleFile

Below is how you will log to your default appender IIQRFile

logger.orgSpringframework.name=org.springframework
logger.orgSpringframework.level=info

Below is how you can log to your appender IIQSpecificFile in special cases

logger.ObjectConfig.name=sailpoint.object.ObjectConfig
logger.ObjectConfig.level=trace
logger.ObjectConfig.additivity=false
logger.ObjectConfig.appenderRef.connector.ref=IIQSpecificFile

Disable Heartbeat logger

## Disable Heartbeat logger ##
logger.heartbeat.name=sailpoint.server.HeartbeatService
logger.heartbeat.level=off

Hi Guarav,

Thank you for this guide. I am trying to configure log4j2.properties for TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy. However I am getting these two errors:

main ERROR Unable to invoke factory method in class class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender for element RollingFile. java.lang.IllegalStateException: No factory method found for class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender
main ERROR Null object returned for RollingFile in Appenders.
main ERROR Unable to locate appender "IIQRFile" for logger config "root"

I found the problem, I forgot to add %d to filepattern. 

[skalapal]

I have %d in pattern (log4j2) but still having following error.

Hi @skalapal ,

Can you please share the appender and the rootLogger lines?

Thanks

[skalapal]

Hello Gaurav,

So when I used below section, I was not able to compile. But the one below it (adhering to the old loh4j standard) seems to work.

Not Working-
appender.rolling.type=RollingFile
appender.rolling.name=IIQRFile
appender.rolling.fileName=%%TOMCAT_LOG_DIR%%/sailpoint.log
appender.rolling.filePattern=%%TOMCAT_LOG_DIR%%/sailpoint-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz
appender.rolling.layout.type=PatternLayout
# OOTB pattern is '%d{ISO8601} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n' ##
appender.rolling.layout.pattern=%d{DEFAULT} %5p %t %c{4}:%L - %m%n
appender.rolling.policies.type=Policies
appender.rolling.policies.size.type=SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
appender.rolling.policies.size.size=200MB
appender.rolling.strategy.type=DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.rolling.strategy.max=15

Working -
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=%%TOMCAT_LOG_DIR%%/sailpoint.log
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=100MB

Thank you so much!

Hi @skalapal ,

Please check the appender ref in the logger file.  This should point to the appender IIQRFile.

Check  the section "## rootLogger specify all appender rollings used by your log4j2" in this wiki above.

Thanks

Gaurav

[skalapal]

Thank you Gaurav,

It looks like I am not getting very lucky even after checking the rootLogger. If there is a safe copy of functional log4j2.properties, would you mind posting? Thank you.

Hello Skalapal,

See if this can be of your help.

To turn off the Heartbeat Service we also had to add the following two lines:

logger.statistical.name=org.hibernate.engine.internal.StatisticalLoggingSessionEventListener
logger.statistical.level=off

Hi @Nitish_Raina ,

Thanks for posting your working log4j2.properties file.

I would really like some help understanding the last line from the file.

line is "logger.aggregator.appenderRef.connector.ref=IIQDebug2"

should this be "logger.aggregator.appenderRef.IIQDebug2.ref=IIQDebug2"

why is the "appenderRef.connector" used? any documentation is really helpful

Hi @gaurav_khandelwal , Thank you for this post. I am trying to use the same loggers but am getting below errors. It would be really helpful if you could attach a working copy of log4j2 file. Let me know if you have any pointers for the below error:
