Log4j - Have multiple appenders write to the same file with one that always logs

Question

I have a log4j appender defined like:

log4j.logger.com.example = DEBUG, filelog

log4j.appender.filelog=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appen         


        

Answer 1

I got this to work by using AsyncAppenders. I had my main appender which specified a file to log to, and had my other appenders refer to it.

e.g.

You can add other filters, or whatever to the other appenders. As far as I can tell with my own app, the logs seem to roll, and the appender filters work as expected.
