it seems that my grails (2.1) log4j config isn't used properly and i can't find the problem.
The log file is created but empty and the stdout doesn't follow my pattern.
log4j = {
appenders {
rollingFile name: "myFileAppender", file: "LogFile.log", maxFileSize: 1024, layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%d (%t) [%24F:%-3L:%-5p]%x %m%n')
console name: 'myStdoutAppender', layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%d (%t) [%24F:%-3L:%-5p]%x %m%n')
}

'grails.app'
root = {
debug 'myFileAppender', 'myStdoutAppender'
additivity = true
}
}
Anyone an idea what i did wrong?
Don't assign to the root logger. Just call it with the supplied closure:
// No equals sign
root {
debug 'myFileAppender', 'myStdoutAppender'
additivity = true
}

I have a grails 2.3.11 plugin and application with the following log4j configuration in the Config.groovy and when I run it on the server, info and error messages do not get logged into my rollingFileAppender. When I run the application locally the messages get logged susccessfully to the console though.
myapp.log does get created under my tomcat/logs folder. However, messsages do not get written into it.
Any suggestions?

I have the following in my grails config log4j section:
appenders {
file name: "usageAppender", file: "${logDirectory}/onetract3.log"
}
root { error 'stdout', 'usageAppender' }
info usageAppender: "grails.app.services.com.onetract.onetract.UserService"
The file "onetract3.log" is successfully created, however nothing is written to this file.
I can see in the console that the info is handled correctly.
2014-03-09 20:09:06,912 [http-bio-8080-exec-5] INFO onetract.UserService - New candidateRelations for: com.onetract.onetract.Person : 18
Grails version is 2.3.5
Any ideas on why this isn't getting written to the log file?
Edit: 10.03.1014, set additivity to false.
info additivity: false
usageAppender: "grails.app.services.com.onetract.onetract.UserService"
use this

The problem was due to the following entry:
file: "${logDirectory}/onetract3.log"
Before the application is running, this works, afterwards not.
The workaround is to explicitly tell the appender where the file is, i.e.
file: "logs/onetract/onetract3.log"
This then works.
The only way I can get the logging to work in my service is to add this to my service:
class MyService {
def log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass())
...
My log4j settings in Config.groovy:
log4j = {
PatternLayout patternLayout = new PatternLayout("%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n")

appender new org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender(name: "console",

layout: patternLayout
)
}
root {

additivity = true
}
}
I would have thought the logging would work in a service without having to add def log... at the top.
grails.app.service should be grails.app.services. This changed in version 2.0.
You can easily find out the logger name in an artifact by adding
println log.name
to a test method and calling it.
I have the following configuration for log4j
log4j = {
// Example of changing the log pattern for the default console appender:
//
appenders {
console name:'stdout', layout:pattern(conversionPattern: '%c{2} %m%n')
}
info 'grails.app.controllers'

}
when I do log.info in my controller, I don't see any output being logged in to the console. Any reasons why ?
Just had to add grails.app and that did the trick
I have an issue when i war my grails project to deploy on my production server there is a limitation that i only log to /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out. This means that i have to make every log including stacktrace write to that one file. I've tried following other examples and it just doesn't seem to work i still get the error "permission denied on stacktrace.log"
This is my log4j config
log4j = {
// Example of changing the log pattern for the default console
// appender:
//
appender.stacktractLog = "org.apache.log4j.FileAppender"
appender.'stacktraceLog.File'="/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out"
appenders {
rollingFile name:'catalinaOut', maxFileSize:1024, fileName:"/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out"
}
root {
error 'catalinaOut'
additivity = true
}
error 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet', // controllers

Just modify your configuration:
log4j = {
// Example of changing the log pattern for the default console
// appender:
//
appenders {
rollingFile name:'catalinaOut', maxFileSize:1024, fileName:"/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out"
file name: 'stacktrace', file: "/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out", layout: pattern(conversionPattern: '%c{2} %m%n')
}
root {
error 'catalinaOut'
additivity = true
}
error stacktrace: "StackTrace"

Can't help with your current problem but I suggest you change the rollingFile properties. Current setting will only give a 1kb file that over writes it's self.
try:
rollingFile name:'catalinaOut', maxFileSize:${10*1024*1024},maxBackupIndex:100,fileName:"/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out"
This will give you 100 10MB files or about a gig worth of logs.
