log4j to a file

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 08:50:07 GMT

Hi,
I need help to write log4j logging information to a file. By default log4J is writing on console. How should I configure, and where should I configure If I want log4J to write logging information to a file like " c:/log.txt ".

Thanks,

Hello,

Please take a look at this related topic:https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Issue-with-tRest/m-p/31782

You can do this with a little Java code in a tJava component at the beginning of your Job or use a custom component tredirectOutput.

Let us know if it is Ok with you.

Best regards

Hi,

You added code into log4j.xml?

Have you tried to use this custom component tredirectoutput which is used to redirect all the message printed on the console to a file. to see if it works?

Hello,

Which section will block you? Are you able using tJava component to save your output in a file?

Best regards

Hi all,

You need to complete with this at the end :

    <!-- Root Logger -->  
	<root>
		<priority value ="warn"/>
		<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
		<appender-ref ref="DailyFileAppender"/>
	</root>

Here my complete configuration :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
  
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/' >
  
  	<!--  CONSOLE appender  -->
	<appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
		<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
		 	<param name="ConversionPattern"  
		  		value="[%-5p]: %c - %m%n" />
		</layout>
	</appender>

 <appender name="DailyFileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
		<param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
		<param name="File" value="c:/log/myjob.txt "/>
		<param name="Append" value="true"/>
		<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
			<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %c{2} - %m%n"/>
		</layout>
</appender>
	
	<!-- logstash appender -->
    <!-- <appender name="LOGSTASH" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender">
        <param name="RemoteHost" value="localhost"/>
        <param name="Port" value="8052"/>
    </appender> -->
	
	<!-- Spring Logger -->  
	<logger name="log4j.logger.org.springframework">  
        <level value="WARN" />  
        <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    </logger>
    
    <!-- throwableRenderer <throwableRenderer class="org.apache.log4j.EnhancedThrowableRenderer"/>--> 
	
    <!-- Root Logger -->  
	<root>
		<priority value ="warn"/>
		<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
		<appender-ref ref="DailyFileAppender"/>
	</root>
</log4j:configuration>

I think your appender name has to be FILE not DailyFileAppender

Hi,

I am new to Talend and wanted to know if there is a way by which I can use any param(e.g. param "File") defined in the below configuration, inside a component in Talend?

Regards,

Puneet

@charlesclement can you please elaborate a little. I added the similar appender to my log4j, but I am not getting the logs in my output file still.
