Hello, this is a Log4J2 appender experiment

[joshuadavis]

Thought I'd make a Log4J2 appender for Logentries, since I'm using Log4J2.

Hello,

any news concerning this pull request?
I've been keeping an eye on this because it would be nice to have it for a project I'm working on.
I'd like to link Logentries but I'm using Log4j2. Else I need to find another way of logging without Logentries.

thanks

I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm using this code in production and it seems to be working well.

Unfortunately there is not much feedback from the Logentries Team. I also wrote a Logentries appender, however for JUL. Its running in production for months without any troubles.

Sorry this was not evaluated sooner guys, I am going to have a look at the open pull requests for this library in the coming days.

Great!

@joshuadavis could you provide a sample configuration to include in the logging library?

[samjamesobrien]

@joshuadavis disregard, I put one together.

[joshuadavis]

Okay, great! It's pretty straightforward.

My log4j2xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
    <properties>
        <property name="logPath">/tmp/</property>
        <property name="logFileName">MyLogFile.log</property>
        <property name="logRollingFileName">MyLogFile-rolling.log</property>
        <property name="pattern">%d %-5p [%t] %C{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n</property>
    </properties>
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="${pattern}"/>
        </Console>
        <File name="MyAgentLog" fileName="${pattern}${logFileName}">
            <PatternLayout pattern="${pattern}"/>
        </File>
        <Logentries name="le"
                     token="${env:LOGENTRIES_TOKEN}"
                     debug="false">
            <PatternLayout pattern="${pattern}"/>
        </Logentries>
        <RollingFile name="roll"
                     fileName="${logPath}${logRollingFileName}"
                     filePattern="${logPath}${logRollingFileName}-%i.log.gz">
            <PatternLayout pattern="${pattern}" />
            <Policies>
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB"/>
            </Policies>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Logger name="org.apache.log4j.xml" level="info"/>
        <Root level="debug">
            <AppenderRef ref="le"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

The Logentries token is set from ENV, e.g.:
export LOGENTRIES_TOKEN=AAABBBCCC

You have four appenders available: console, File, RollingFile, Logentries. Only Logentries ("le") is enabled.

Thanks guys, I will include these in the sample files.
