Detailed Description

A filter supporting complex expressions - supports both infix and postfix expressions (infix expressions must first be converted to postfix prior to processing).

See org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.LoggingEventFieldResolver.java for the correct names for logging event fields used when building expressions.

See org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.rule package for a list of available rules which can be applied using the expression syntax.

See org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.RuleFactory for the symbols used to activate the corresponding rules.

NOTE: Grouping using parentheses is supported - all tokens must be separated by spaces, and operands which contain spaces are not yet supported.

Example:

In order to build a filter that displays all messages with infomsg-45 or infomsg-44 in the message, as well as all messages with a level of WARN or higher, build an expression using the LikeRule (supports ORO-based regular expressions) and the InequalityRule. ( MSG LIKE infomsg-4[4,5] ) && ( LEVEL >= WARN )

Three options are required: Expression - the expression to match ConvertInFixToPostFix - convert from infix to posfix (default true) AcceptOnMatch - true or false (default true)

Meaning of AcceptToMatch: If there is a match between the value of the Expression option and the log4cxx::spi::LoggingEvent and AcceptOnMatch is true, the decide method returns log4cxx::spi::Filter#ACCEPT.

If there is a match between the value of the Expression option and the log4cxx::spi::LoggingEvent and AcceptOnMatch is false, log4cxx::spi::Filter#DENY is returned.

If there is no match, log4cxx::spi::Filter#NEUTRAL is returned.

Member Function Documentation

◆ activateOptions()

void log4cxx::filter::ExpressionFilter::activateOptions ( helpers::Pool p)
overridevirtual

Activate the options that were previously set with calls to option setters.

This allows to defer activiation of the options until all options have been set. This is required for components which have related options that remain ambigous until all are set.

For example, the FileAppender has the File and Append options both of which are ambigous until the other is also set.

Implements log4cxx::spi::OptionHandler.

◆ decide()

FilterDecision log4cxx::filter::ExpressionFilter::decide ( const spi::LoggingEventPtr event) const
overridevirtual

Returns log4cxx::spi::Filter#NEUTRAL is there is no string match.

Implements log4cxx::spi::Filter.
