Logging

The Connect2id server uses the popular Log4j 2 framework to handle logging.

Key features:

• Automatic reconfiguration on the fly
• High-performance (5 - 10 times gain) with asynchronous output.

The Log4j configuration file is located in the WEB-INF directory of the web application:

WEB-INF/log4j.xml

Please, refer to the Log4j manual for how to edit the configuration file.

The default Log4j configuration file that ships with the Connect2id server looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="error" name="C2idServer" packages="">
    <Appenders>
        <!-- Log file location uses Tomcat system variable, change for other web servers -->
        <RollingFile name="RollingFile"
                     fileName="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/c2id-server.log"
                     filePattern="${sys:catalina.home}/logs/c2id-server-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz">
            <PatternLayout>
                <Pattern>%d{ISO8601} %p %t %c{1} - %m%n</Pattern>
            </PatternLayout>
            <Policies>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="250 MB"/>
            </Policies>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="debug">
            <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>
