Hi All,

I'm facing one problem with my log4j configuration. It is not capturing the log files in "external log file"

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO,DEBUG, file

# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

#Redirect to Tomcat logs folder
#log4j.appender.file.File=${catalina.home}/logs/logging.log

log4j.appender.file.File=E:\\Virology_Lab\logs\Virologylogs.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

Possibly whatever is running that code doesn't have a mapping for drive E.

That doesn't look right - you should only have one debug level.  If you sepcify DEBUG, it will include INFO (and other more-critical debug levels).

I believe the syntax is:
    log4j.rootLogger=debug-level, appender-1, appender-2, appender-n

Also, the getLogger method can also take a class, so you could just use Logger.getLogger(FileUploadManagedBean.class)

Less typing

Paul - I have done the mapping for drive E. Use can see that in my log4j.properties file,

log4j.appender.file.File=E:\\Virology_Lab\logs\Virologylogs.log

Anything more required for  configuration side please suggest.

Thank you.

Ron - I did the changes that you mentioned above but even now log file configured is not capturing the logs and i'm getting the log details only in console.

Log file location - "E:\\Virology_Lab\logs\Virologylogs.log "


any other change i have to do.Please suggest?

Thank you.

If you are going to use WIndows path notation, you will need to escape each directory separator backslash with another backslash:
    log4j.appender.file.File=E:\\Virology_Lab\\logs\\Virologylogs.log

Or, just use UNIX notation - it will work in Windows environments as well:
    log4j.appender.file.File=E:/Virology_Lab/logs/Virologylogs.log

Tried above path but no luck. See my new log4j.properties

I'm i missing anything else Ron :-)

It seems like I wasn't clear when I said that the syntax is log4j.rootLogger=debug-level, appender-1, appender-2, appender-n.  You were meant to replace debug-level with the desired debug level (such as DEBUG), and the appenders with a list of names of log4j appender (such as file, console, etc.).

Your configuration should probably look something like this:

I can see that you've used drive E in your configuration. And I expect you've mapped drive E for when you sign in. But perhaps this code is running in a server somewhere, as a Windows service. In that case you should investigate how drive E gets mapped for that service.

Yes Paul, I have deployed the application in the same machine.That is the reason the mapped with "E:\\Virology_Lab\\logs\\Virologylogs.log " instead of IP.

But is it running as your user.
I think that was the question.
If it's running as a service then it's quite likely that drive isn't mapped.

If it's running as a Windows service under one of the default Windows service user ID's (which it almost certainly is) then that drive is definitely not mapped.

There are two steps to fix this:

1. Set up a user ID for the service to use, and reconfigure and restart the service.

That still won't use a mapped drive, though, even if that user ID is configured to automatically map the drive when somebody signs on with it. Step 2:

2. Change the log file name to use the Windows UNC convention: \computername\logs\Virologylogs.log (and don't forget to make sure that the user ID you set up in step 1 is permitted to access that remote machine and the folder where you're storing the logs).

   - In Step 2 - "Windows UNC convention: \computername\logs\Virologylogs.log " how come it knows the drive?

Sorry, I don't understand. In particular I don't understand "it" and "the drive". So, how come who understands what?

If you want to find the UNC path for the network drive to use in step 2, use can use net use from the command line in the session where you have the E-drive mounted.  For example, on my workstation, I see:

The UNC path for my R-drive is \\192.168.100.10\users\home\ron

I have tried it. But there is no luck. Please see the below log4j file.

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file

# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=\\172.20.28.139\Virology_Lab\logs\Virologylogs.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

And your service is now running under a specific network user ID (not "Local System Account" or the like) which has suitable permissions for that folder?

Yes Paul. My service is running in Local System and it has permission to access  the shared folder(I have confirmed it accessing from system as well). As guided above i have given the UNC path of my IP  address to rectify the issue.

Sounds like you didn't change the user ID under which the service runs. Running it under the user ID "Local System account" is what I told you not to do.

In the service properties, click on the "Log On" tab and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Paul- Please clarify below points

  - Could you please elaborate what service you mean here? I'm getting little bit confused on service(In my understanding Login User have a User name  and Password - It's the credential for my local system and all source code and share folder contains the log file comes under this credentials.).

 - Also as per your previous comment : there are something more need to change in the  system configuration level  for Login User  in order to fix the issue(As per my understanding, Please correct me if i'm wrong)?

 - If the log file in shared folder have accessed  in different machine, then why we need a  separate system configuration changes required?

I thought we had that all covered. Is the code you posted there not running in a Windows service?

(If you don't know, then perhaps you should consult with the person who manages the place where that code is running.)

Paul - I have checked with network team here and came to know I'm not using any services apart form normal services( Asusual). It is default windows login and execution of the application.We don't have any service associated with the application that I'm running.

So somebody sits down at a screen, signs on, and starts the application? I didn't understand the part about "default Windows login" -- I didn't think there was any such thing. But if there is, it's unlikely to map an E drive.

Paul - I had discussion with network team here and as suggested, I have shared a folder and given permission to 'everyone' for that folder(logs_virology),  in that scenario it should work right? But even logs are not generating.

Please see the log4j.properties
-----------------------------------
log4j.rootLogger = DEBUG, file
log4j.appender.fileout = com.veerasundar.log4j.LogLevelFilterFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileout.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.fileout.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileout.File = \\172.20.28.139\logs_virology\Virologylogs.log

Code is running in my system and it is deploying in tomcat server in same system.

But if there is, it's unlikely to map an E drive." -  Yes, application is started by the end user also code and server is in same machine and I'm trying to make link the share folder that is part of E drive(log4j.appender.fileout.File = \\172.20.28.139\logs_virology\Virologylogs.log) in my system.

One other thing you could try: write the logs to a directory on the machine where the server is running. If you still see no log entries then it probably means that no log entries are being produced; this would explain why you see no log entries in your remote folder.

Incidentally that's how I always used to set up servers when I was working. The server would log to a local folder, and anybody who wanted to see those logs would map a drive to that folder.

Paul- I'm using Tomcat version 7 and here is the command to start the server.

F:\Workspace-Structs-Demo\apache-tomcat-7.0.73\bin>startup.bat

also server is integrated with my editor(eclipse: Neon 3)

In addition to this I'm attaching image for log.properties and it's location.


Ron - I have tried it, no luck.

And here I thought you would be telling us what was in the startup.bat script which the user runs. That would be more useful.

Hi! How do you "connect" your log4j properties file to your project? Using command line or placing file into resource folder?

Michael, I have placed log.properties in resource folder.

 Is it mandatory, do i need both log4j.xml and log4j.properties file. At the moment i have only properties file. Also do i need to add any extra configuration level changes in web.xml file? please advise

First you need to move log4j.properties to main/src/resources, then try to log  into filename:
log4j.appender.fileout.File = Virologylogs.log
just to verify that log records will appears in file.
Also try to change path separator from "\" to "/" (Ron McLeod advised it)
