What are some examples of Log4j configuration?

Can you provide some examples of Log4j configuration?

Sure! Here are a few examples of Log4j configuration:

1. Basic Configuration:

   <Configuration>
       <Appenders>
           <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
               <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
           </Console>
       </Appenders>
       <Loggers>
           <Root level="info">
               <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
           </Root>
       </Loggers>
   </Configuration>
   

2. File Appender Configuration:

   <Configuration>
       <Appenders>
           <File name="FileLogger" fileName="logs/app.log">
               <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd} %p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
           </File>
       </Appenders>
       <Loggers>
           <Logger name="com.example" level="debug" additivity="false">
               <AppenderRef ref="FileLogger"/>
           </Logger>
           <Root level="error">
               <AppenderRef ref="FileLogger"/>
           </Root>
       </Loggers>
   </Configuration>
   

What is the difference between Console and File appenders?

The Console appender outputs log messages to the console (standard output), while the File appender writes log messages to a specified file. This allows for different logging strategies depending on the application's needs.

Can I configure multiple appenders?

Yes, you can configure multiple appenders in Log4j. You can define different appenders for different log levels or loggers, allowing for flexible logging configurations.
