    • PATTERN

      static final String PATTERN
      ObjectName pattern ("org.apache.logging.log4j2:type=%s,component=StatusLogger") for StatusLoggerAdmin MBeans. This pattern contains a variable, which is the name of the logger context.

      You can find all registered StatusLoggerAdmin MBeans like this:

       MBeanServer mbs = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
       String pattern = String.format(StatusLoggerAdminMBean.PATTERN, "*");
       Set<ObjectName> statusLoggerNames = mbs.queryNames(new ObjectName(pattern), null);
       

      Some characters are not allowed in ObjectNames. The logger context name may be quoted. When StatusLoggerAdmin MBeans are registered, their ObjectNames are created using this pattern as follows:

       String ctxName = Server.escape(loggerContext.getName());
       String name = String.format(PATTERN, ctxName);
       ObjectName objectName = new ObjectName(name);
