<p>For example, I had to look there to figure out that to log to syslog, I needed to specify appender <code>LocalSyslogAppender</code>. And I had to look there to find out that there's no way to make it log to console <code>STDERR</code> (there's only <code>ConsoleAppender</code> which logs to <code>STDOUT</code>).</p></div>Documentation here - How to use the init file.2007-03-30T13:42:31Z2007-03-30T13:42:31Zpmdwhttps://sourceforge.net/u/pmdw/https://sourceforge.net49d9950577aeabd3291d16ee0234a8981e5d45ad<div class="markdown_content"><p>I can't create a user on the wiki to add this.<br />
I am sure it will be of some use to someone if it could be added to the wiki or in the doc some where</p>
<p>When using the Simple Configuration options in the<br />
log4cpp.init file this may help users configuring the<br />
log file</p>
<p>Command syntax as follows:<br />
Each command is on entire line and is case sensitive<br />
<command> <category name> <layout type> <appender commands> <layout patterns></p>
<p><command><br />
valid commands are<br />
- appender<br />
- priority<br />
- category</p>
<p><category name><br />
valid category name are<br />
- root<br />
- <user defined category in application></p>
<p><layout type><br />
valid layout types are<br />
- basic<br />
- simple<br />
- pattern</p>
<p><appender commands><br />
valid appender commands are<br />
- file <followed by a log file name><br />
- rolling <followed by a log file name><br />
<the max size of the file><br />
<and the max number of files to keep><br />
- console<br />
- stdout<br />
- stderr<br />
- nteventlog <category name><br />
- syslog <category name><br />
- remotesyslog <category name></p>
<p><layout patterns><br />
The simple layout follows this pattern</p>
<p>%p - %m%n</p>
<p>The basic layout follows this pattern</p>
<p>%R %p %c %x: %m%n</p>
<p>Valid commands for pattern layout.<br />
all commands for pattern are prefixed with %<br />
all commands for pattern are case sensative</p>
<p>- %n = create new line ( this is usually at the end to make a new line break</p>
<p>- %m = Place the message here</p>
<p>- %c = Place the category name here</p>
<p>- %d = Place the date time stamp here</p>
<p>- %p = Place the message priority here</p>
<p>- %t = Place the thread name here</p>
<p>- %u = Place the processing time component here.</p>
<p>- %x = Place the Nested Diagnostic Context (NDC) here.<br />
NDC is an instrument to distinguish interleaved log output from<br />
different sources.</p></div>
