Detailed Description

Send an e-mail when a specific logging event occurs, typically on errors or fatal errors.

The number of logging events delivered in this e-mail depend on the value of BufferSize option. The SMTPAppender keeps only the last BufferSize logging events in its cyclic buffer. This keeps memory requirements at a reasonable level while still delivering useful application context.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

The default constructor will instantiate the appender with a spi::TriggeringEventEvaluator that will trigger on events with level ERROR or higher.

SMTPAppender ( spi::TriggeringEventEvaluatorPtr  evaluator)

Use evaluator passed as parameter as the spi::TriggeringEventEvaluator for this net::SMTPAppender.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void activateOptions ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool p)
virtual

Activate the specified options, such as the smtp host, the recipient, from, etc.

Reimplemented from AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void append ( const spi::LoggingEventPtr event,
log4cxx::helpers::Pool p 
)
virtual

Perform SMTPAppender specific appending actions, mainly adding the event to a cyclic buffer and checking if the event triggers an e-mail to be sent.

Implements AppenderSkeleton.

virtual void close ( )
virtual

Release any resources allocated within the appender such as file handles, network connections, etc.

It is a programming error to append to a closed appender.

Implements Appender.

LogString getBcc ( ) const

Returns value of the bcc option.

int getBufferSize ( ) const
inline

Returns value of the BufferSize option.

LogString getCc ( ) const

Returns value of the cc option.

log4cxx::spi::TriggeringEventEvaluatorPtr getEvaluator ( ) const

Gets the current triggering evaluator.

Returns
triggering evaluator.
LogString getEvaluatorClass ( )

Returns value of the EvaluatorClass option.

LogString getFrom ( ) const

Returns value of the From option.

bool getLocationInfo ( ) const

Returns value of the LocationInfo option.

LogString getSMTPHost ( ) const

Returns value of the SMTPHost option.

LogString getSMTPPassword ( ) const

Returns value of the SMTPPassword option.

int getSMTPPort ( ) const

Returns value of the SMTPHost option.

LogString getSMTPUsername ( ) const

Returns value of the SMTPUsername option.

LogString getSubject ( ) const

Returns value of the Subject option.

LogString getTo ( ) const

Returns value of the To option.

virtual bool requiresLayout ( ) const
virtual

The SMTPAppender requires a layout.

Implements Appender.

void sendBuffer ( log4cxx::helpers::Pool p)

Send the contents of the cyclic buffer as an e-mail message.

void setBcc ( const LogString to)

The Bcc option takes a string value which should be a comma separated list of e-mail address of the bcc'd recipients.

void setBufferSize ( int  bufferSize)

The BufferSize option takes a positive integer representing the maximum number of logging events to collect in a cyclic buffer.

When the BufferSize is reached, oldest events are deleted as new events are added to the buffer. By default the size of the cyclic buffer is 512 events.

void setCc ( const LogString to)

The Cc option takes a string value which should be a comma separated list of e-mail address of the cc'd recipients.

void setEvaluator ( log4cxx::spi::TriggeringEventEvaluatorPtr &  trigger)

Sets the triggering evaluator.

Parameters
triggertriggering evaluator.
void setEvaluatorClass ( const LogString value)

The EvaluatorClass option takes a string value representing the name of the class implementing the spi::TriggeringEventEvaluator interface.

A corresponding object will be instantiated and assigned as the triggering event evaluator for the SMTPAppender.

void setFrom ( const LogString from)

The From option takes a string value which should be a e-mail address of the sender.

void setLocationInfo ( bool  locationInfo)

The LocationInfo option is provided for compatibility with log4j and has no effect in log4cxx.

virtual void setOption ( const LogString option,
const LogString value 
)
virtual

Set options.

Reimplemented from AppenderSkeleton.

void setSMTPHost ( const LogString smtpHost)

The SMTPHost option takes a string value which should be a the host name of the SMTP server that will send the e-mail message.

void setSMTPPassword ( const LogString newVal)

The SMTPPassword option takes a string value which should be a the password for the SMTP server.

void setSMTPPort ( int  port)

The SMTPPort option takes a string value which should be a the port of the SMTP server that will send the e-mail message.

void setSMTPUsername ( const LogString newVal)

The SMTPUsername option takes a string value which should be a the user name for the SMTP server.

void setSubject ( const LogString subject)

The Subject option takes a string value which should be a the subject of the e-mail message.

void setTo ( const LogString to)

The To option takes a string value which should be a comma separated list of e-mail address of the recipients.
