How to make log4j2.xml in project settings in Stud... - Qlik Community

nvtd4000 · ‎2021-09-04

I am using Talend Studio 7.3.1 and Remote Engine 2.10.6 on DEV server. I have a very simple job and in project settings, i modified log4j2.xml to log information to a seperate files. When i run the job in Talend Studio, I can see information in log files that i specified in log4j2.xml

Then I deploy the job to Remote Engine. So far so good. Job is running okay. But there is no log file created (log files that i want to log information to). I goto TalendRemoteEngine/data/dsrunner/exec/microservices/7ad99da8-68c5-438e-a840-a8da8eee9eae/rest1/config and see a brand new log4j2.xml with all default values (rest1 in the path is my job name). It looks like my project settings log4j2.xml only belongs to Studio in local. When we deploy job to Remote Engine, It doesn't go with the job to Remote engine.

Do you know how to make that happens: make log4j2.xml in project settings in Studio goes with the job to Remote Engine.

Hello,

It is not invalid. This is an internal KB article.

I pasted the content here and uploaded related zip files.

Problem Description

Do you have a requirement to compose the log, in so and so way in Studio? Do you want to have the same setup, that it writes the log to the Remote Engine also the same way when executed from the TMC?

Solution

1) Attached job test_test.zip used in our testing.

2) Attached log4j2_modified.xml

3) In the job tJava having below snippet log4j api .

4) JVM arguments having -Dlog4j.configurationFile= file:///C:/tmp/log4j2_modified.xml (file:///C:/tmp/log4j2.xml)

When deployed and run from TMC we can get the desired log in above log4j.configurationFile mentioned location and output is as below,

Hello,

It seems the zip file is corrupted. We will check it with the article author to see if there is any valid source for it.

In addition to that, you can enable log4j and log4j2 logging configured in Talend Studio for tasks running on Remote Engines.

Here is online user guide about: TalendHelpCenter: Enabling custom logging
