12.3. Logging Configuration in the CLI


Prerequisite

The Management CLI must be running and connected to the relevant JBoss EAP instance. For further information see Section 3.4.2, “Launch the Management CLI”

12.3.1. Configure the Root Logger with the CLI

The root logger configuration can be viewed and edited using the Management CLI.
The main tasks you will perform to configure the root logger are:
  • Add log handlers to the root logger.
  • Display the root logger configuration.
  • Change the log level.
  • Remove log handlers from the root logger.

Important

When configuring a root logger in a logging profile for a standalone system, the root of the configuration path is /subsystem=logging/logging-profile=NAME/ instead of /subsystem=logging/.
For a managed domain, you must specify which profile to use. You must add the profile name to the beginning of the configuration path for a managed domain, replacing /subsystem=logging/ with /profile=NAME/subsystem=logging/.
Add a Log Handler to the Root Logger
Use the add-handler operation with the following syntax where HANDLER is the name of the log handler to be added.
/subsystem=logging/root-logger=ROOT:add-handler(name="HANDLER")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The log handler must already have been created before it can be added to the root logger.

Example 12.3. Root Logger add-handler operation

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/root-logger=ROOT:add-handler(name="FILE")
{"outcome" => "success"}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.3.6. Configure a Size Log Handler in the CLI

Size rotated file log handlers can be added, removed and edited in the CLI.
The tasks you will perform to configure a size rotated file log handler are:
  • Add a new log handler.
  • Display the configuration of the log handler.
  • Set the handler's log level.
  • Set the handler's appending behavior.
  • Set whether the handler uses autoflush or not.
  • Set the encoding used for the handler's output.
  • Specify the file to which the log handler will write.
  • Set the formatter used for the handler's output.
  • Set the maximum size of each log file.
  • Set the maximum number of backup logs to keep.

12.3.9. Configure a Custom Handler in the CLI

Custom handler can be added, removed, and edited in the CLI.
The main tasks you will perform to configure a custom handler are:
  • Add a new custom handler.
  • Display the configuration of a custom handler.
  • Set the log level.
  • Remove a custom handler.

Important

When configuring a custom handler in a logging profile for a standalone system, the root of the configuration path is /subsystem=logging/logging-profile=NAME/ instead of /subsystem=logging/.
For a managed domain, you must specify which profile to use. You must add the profile name to the beginning of the configuration path for a managed domain, replacing /subsystem=logging/ with /profile=NAME/subsystem=logging/.
Add a New Custom Handler
Use the add operation with the following syntax.
/subsystem=logging/custom-handler="MyCustomHandler":add

Example 12.75. Adding a new custom handler

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/custom-handler="MyCustomHandler":add(class="JdbcLogger",module="com.MyModule",formatter="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n",properties={"maxNumberOfDays"=>"90","fileName"=>"custom.log","compressBackups"=>"true"})
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Display Custom Handler
Use the read-resource operation with the following syntax. Replace CUSTOMHANDLER with the name of the custom handler.
/subsystem=logging/custom-handler=CUSTOMHANDLER:read-resource
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 12.76. Display a custom handler configuration

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/custom-handler="MyCustomHandler":read-resource
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "autoflush" => true,
        "enabled" => true,
        "encoding" => undefined,
        "filter" => undefined,
        "filter-spec" => undefined,
        "formatter" => "%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n",
        "level" => "INFO",
        "name" => "CONSOLE",
        "named-formatter" => "COLOR-PATTERN",
        "target" => "System.out"
    }
}

Set the Log Level
Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. Replace CUSTOMHANDLER with the name of the log category and LEVEL with the log level that is to be set.
/subsystem=logging/custom-handler=CUSTOMHANDLER:write-attribute(name="level", value="INFO") 
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 12.77. Set the Log Level

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/custom-handler="MyCustomHandler":write-attribute(name="level", value="TRACE")
{"outcome" => "success"}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Remove Custom Handler
Use the remove operation with the following syntax. Replace CUSTOMHANDLER with the name of the custom handler to be removed.
/subsystem=logging/custom-handler=CUSTOMHANDLER:remove
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 12.78. Remove a custom handler

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/custom-handler="MyCustomHandler":remove
{"outcome" => "success"}

12.3.10. Configure a Syslog Handler in the CLI

The log manager for JBoss EAP 6 now contains a syslog handler. Syslog handlers can be used to send messages to a remote logging server that supports the Syslog protocol (RFC-3164 or RFC-5424). This allows the log messages of multiple applications to be sent to the same server, where they can be parsed together. This topic covers how to create and configure a syslog handler using the Management CLI, and the available configuration options.
For details of syslog handler attributes see Section A.3, “Management Interface Audit Logging Reference”.

Prerequisites

  • Access and the correct permissions for the Management CLI.

Procedure 12.4. Add a Syslog Handler

  • Run the following command to add a syslog handler:
    /subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=HANDLER_NAME:add
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Procedure 12.5. Configure a Syslog Handler

  • Run the following command to configure a syslog handler attribute:
    /subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=HANDLER_NAME:write-attribute(name=ATTRIBUTE_NAME,value=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Procedure 12.6. Remove a Syslog Handler

  • Run the following command to remove an existing syslog handler:
    /subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=HANDLER_NAME:remove
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.3.11. Configure a Custom Log Formatter in the CLI

Summary

In addition to the log formatter syntax specified in Section 12.1.16, “Log Formatter Syntax”, a custom log formatter can be created for use with any log handler. This example procedure will demonstrate this by creating a XML formatter for a console log handler.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Management CLI for the JBoss EAP 6 server.
  • A previously configured log handler. This example procedure uses a console log handler.

Procedure 12.7. Configure a Custom XML Formatter for a Log Handler

  1. Create custom formatter.
    In this example, the following command creates a custom formatter named XML_FORMATTER that uses the java.util.logging.XMLFormatter class.
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/custom-formatter=XML_FORMATTER:add(class=java.util.logging.XMLFormatter, module=org.jboss.logmanager)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Register a custom formatter for the log handler you want to use it with.
    In this example, the formatter from the previous step is added to a console log handler.
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/console-handler=HANDLER:write-attribute(name=named-formatter, value=XML_FORMATTER)/subsystem=logging/console-handler=HANDLER:write-attribute(name=named-formatter, value=XML_FORMATTER)/subsystem=logging/console-handler=HANDLER:write-attribute(name=named-formatter, value=XML_FORMATTER)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Restart the JBoss EAP 6 server for the change to take effect.
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] shutdown --restart=true
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Result

The custom XML formatter is added to the console log handler. Output to the console log will be formatted in XML, for example:

<record>
  <date>2014-03-11T13:02:53</date>
  <millis>1394539373833</millis>
  <sequence>116</sequence>
  <logger>org.jboss.as</logger>
  <level>INFO</level>
  <class>org.jboss.as.server.BootstrapListener</class>
  <method>logAdminConsole</method>
  <thread>282</thread>
  <message>JBAS015951: Admin console listening on http://%s:%d</message>
  <param>127.0.0.1</param>
  <param>9990</param>
</record>
