i have configured the below xml to get the coloured output in console, but still not getting the coloured o/p
<PatternLayout pattern="%highlight{%d %-5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n}{FATAL=red,ERROR=red, WARN=yellow bold, INFO=red, DEBUG=green bold, TRACE=blue}"/>

I am attempting to use Log4J2 property substitution to simplify my deployed log4j2.xml file. I want to share it between three deployed WAR files, so I've defined a system property detailing the external location of that file.
Now I've run into a different issue. I've added the following to my web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>loggingPrefix</param-name>
<param-value>app1</param-value>
</context-param>
In the log4j2.xml, I've created the following:
<Console name="CONSOLE_LOG" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="$upper{${web:loggingPrefix}}> %d{dd MMM HH:mm:ss} %5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n" />
</Console>
What happens is that the loggingPrefix is properly output, but the log entry only prints out as $upper{app1}. I have also attempted to specify the $upper as $$upper.
Have I simply made a dumb mistake in the pattern?
(Note: I can't just put the uppercase in the web.xml, I need the lowercase value when I start implementing the RollingFileAppender entries.)
hey I was wondering if it possible to have the same output in Console as in the file output.
Here is my XML config.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN" name="log4j2 Logs">

<Property name="basePath">./logs</Property>
</Properties>

Output in RollingFile

and empty in Console. But now if I change
<AppenderRef ref="console" level="error"/>
to "trace"
It will be 2,4,6....in console and in my file it will be 1,3,5,7... which is easily understandable.
But my question is how can we have both the same log-level (trace) output in Console and File?
(adding tag with package name and level did not work)
Related to this question: log4j2 xml configuration - Log to file and console (with different levels)
I'm not sure if I read your question correctly but it seems that you want to render some unique value in the log output, such that the same log event has the same unique value in the Console log and the File log output.
The sequence number pattern converter will increment every time a log event is rendered. The same log event is rendered separately for each Appender, so different Appenders will never have the same sequence number.
There are a number of alternatives. One idea is to include %nano nanotime in the pattern layout. This value is captured when the application makes the logging call and will be the same for all appenders. An alternative is to create a custom Log4j2 pattern converter or lookup.
Hello I am using Log4j2 for my logging and I am little confused as to how I can log message to a different file based on the message prefix.
For example, currently all messages are logged in a single logs folder.
A set of my messages look like this:
'com.project.latency: ProjectName=[MooPointProject].......'
Some of my other log messages are of the format:
'com.project.latency: ProjectName=[DataPlaneProject].......'
I want to log the messages which contain the MooPointProject in a specific file and one containing DataPlaneProject in a separate log file.
Is there a specific way I can do that other than changing the logging level itself?
Set up several appenders one for each project name. For example:
<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="logs/MooPointProject.log"
filePattern="logs/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}.log.gz">
<RegexFilter regex=".*MooPointProject.*" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
<PatternLayout>
<pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
</RollingFile>
and
<RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="logs/DataPlaneProject.log"
filePattern="logs/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}.log.gz">
<RegexFilter regex=".*DataPlaneProject.*" onMatch="ACCEPT" onMismatch="DENY"/>
<PatternLayout>
<pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
</RollingFile>
Then assign both the appenders to your logger(s). Since your RegexpFilter accepts only a project-spcific lines you will get them to the appropriate files separately.
P.S. - Find the detail on other types of filters here.
Using Log4j2 2.8, is there a way to have my logs rotate daily but so that the current file has a constant name?
Example:
my.log <-- current day (2017-02-13)
my-2017-02-12.log <-- last log
my-2017-02-11.log <-- second to last log
I tried the following configuration without success:
<RollingFile name="RollingFileMain" fileName="my.log"
filePattern="my-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%level{length=1} %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c{-3} (%F:%L) %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="2"/>
</RollingFile>
Additionally, I get the following exception when I launch my application for the first time on a given day:
2017-02-14 09:28:38,334 main ERROR An exception occurred processing Appender RollingFileMain java.lang.NullPointerException

Please change your filepattern to filePattern="my-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log":
The %i is only useful when you use the SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy. If you only have a TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy, Log4j gets confused by the %i...
The issue seems to be a combination of #Remko Popma's answer and a bug in Log4j2 2.8. After applying the filePattern="my-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log" and downgrading to version 2.7, everything works as expected.
I submitted an issue regarding the crash here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1815
I use log4j 1.2.16 regarding my "dependency-report".
my Conversion Pattern is '%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %c: %m%n %throwable{short}'
but %throwable is not recognized, instead the loglines contain
'...hrowable{short}...'
Any idea ?
I assume this is in an appender? Are you using EnhancedPatternLayout (I believe you need that for %throwable{n})
console name: 'stdout', layout: new EnhancedPatternLayout(conversionPattern: "%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p %c: %m%n %throwable{short}")
