The following procedure demonstrates a sample configuration for a console log handler.

Procedure 5.3. Configure the Console Log Handler

  1. Add the Log Handler Identifier Information

    The name property sets the unique identifier for this log handler.
    When autoflush is set to "true" the log messages will be sent to the handler's target immediately upon request.
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
    
  2. Set the level Property

    The level property sets the maximum level of log messages recorded.
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
          <level name="INFO"/>
    
  3. Set the encoding Output

    Use encoding to set the character encoding scheme to be used for the output.
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
          <level name="INFO"/>
          <encoding value="UTF-8"/>
    
  4. Define the target Value

    The target property defines the system output stream where the output of the log handler goes. This can be System.err for the system error stream, or System.out for the standard out stream.
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
          <level name="INFO"/>
          <encoding value="UTF-8"/>
          <target value="System.out"/>
    
  5. Define the filter-spec Property

    The filter-spec property is an expression value that defines a filter. The example provided defines a filter that does not match a pattern: not(match("JBAS.*")).
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
          <level name="INFO"/>
          <encoding value="UTF-8"/>
          <target value="System.out"/>
          <filter-spec value="not(match(&quot;JBAS.*&quot;))"/>
    
  6. Specify the formatter

    Use formatter to list the log formatter used by the log handler.
    <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
       <console-handler name="CONSOLE" autoflush="true">
          <level name="INFO"/>
          <encoding value="UTF-8"/>
          <target value="System.out"/>
          <filter-spec value="not(match(&quot;JBAS.*&quot;))"/>
          <formatter>
             <pattern-formatter pattern="%K{level}%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
          </formatter>
       </console-handler>
    </subsystem>
