5.5.2. Sample XML Configuration for a Log Category

Procedure 5.2. Configure a Log Category

1. Define the Category

   Use the category property to specify the log category from which log messages will be captured.
   The use-parent-handlers is set to "true" by default. When set to "true", this category will use the log handlers of the root logger in addition to any other assigned handlers.

   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
      <logger category="com.company.accounts.rec" use-parent-handlers="true">
   

2. Set the level property

   Use the level property to set the maximum level of log message that the log category records.

   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
      <logger category="com.company.accounts.rec" use-parent-handlers="true">
         <level name="WARN"/>
   

3. List handlers

   handlers is a list of log handlers.

   <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.2">
      <logger category="com.company.accounts.rec" use-parent-handlers="true">
         <level name="WARN"/>
         <handlers>
            <handler name="accounts-rec"/>
         </handlers>
      </logger>
   </subsystem>
