Chapter 5. Configuring Logging

Download dependencies to the JBoss JMS client and log manager.

If you are using Maven, add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file:

<dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
     <groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
     <artifactId>jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
     <version>1.5.3.Final</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.eap</groupId>
      <artifactId>wildfly-jms-client-bom</artifactId>
      <type>pom</type>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>

For more information, see the section on using Maven with JBoss EAP in the JBoss EAP Development Guide.

Create a properties file for the logger. Name it logging.properties and save it to a known location. Below is an example properties file. See the section on logging in the JBoss EAP Development Guide for more information on configuring logging options on the client side.

# Root logger option
loggers=org.jboss.logging,org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server,org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils,org.apache.activemq.artemis.journal,org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms,org.apache.activemq.artemis.ra

# Root logger level
logger.level=INFO
# Apache ActiveMQ Artemis logger levels
logger.org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.level=INFO
logger.org.apache.activemq.artemis.journal.level=INFO
logger.org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.level=INFO
logger.org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.level=INFO

# Root logger handlers
logger.handlers=FILE

# File handler configuration
handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler
handler.FILE.level=FINE
handler.FILE.properties=autoFlush,fileName
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.fileName=activemq.log
handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN

# Formatter pattern configuration
formatter.PATTERN=org.jboss.logmanager.formatters.PatternFormatter
formatter.PATTERN.properties=pattern
formatter.PATTERN.pattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] %s%E%n

Start the client with the expected parameters. When starting your client code using the java command, add the following parameters:

The full command to start the client will look something like the following example:
