@Plugin(name="Routing",
        category="Core",
        elementType="appender",
        printObject=true)
public final class RoutingAppender
extends AbstractAppender

This Appender "routes" between various Appenders, some of which can be references to Appenders defined earlier in the configuration while others can be dynamically created within this Appender as required. Routing is achieved by specifying a pattern on the Routing appender declaration. The pattern should contain one or more substitution patterns of the form "$${[key:]token}". The pattern will be resolved each time the Appender is called using the built in StrSubstitutor and the StrLookup plugin that matches the specified key.

Method Detail

newBuilder

@PluginBuilderFactory
public static <B extends RoutingAppender.Builder<B>> B newBuilder()

start

public void start()

Description copied from class: AbstractFilterable

Make the Filter available for use.

Specified by:

start in interface LifeCycle

Overrides:

start in class AbstractFilterable

stop

public boolean stop(long timeout,
                    TimeUnit timeUnit)

Description copied from class: AbstractFilterable

Cleanup the Filter.

Specified by:

stop in interface LifeCycle2

Overrides:

stop in class AbstractFilterable

Parameters:

timeout - the maximum time to wait

timeUnit - the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns:

true if the receiver was stopped cleanly and normally, false otherwise.

append

public void append(LogEvent event)

Description copied from interface: Appender

Logs a LogEvent using whatever logic this Appender wishes to use. It is typically recommended to use a bridge pattern not only for the benefits from decoupling an Appender from its implementation, but it is also handy for sharing resources which may require some form of locking.

Parameters:

event - The LogEvent.

getAppenders

public Map<String,AppenderControl> getAppenders()

deleteAppender

public void deleteAppender(String key)

Deletes the specified appender.

Parameters:

key - The appender's key

createAppender

@Deprecated
public static RoutingAppender createAppender(String name,
                                                         String ignore,
                                                         Routes routes,
                                                         Configuration config,
                                                         RewritePolicy rewritePolicy,
                                                         PurgePolicy purgePolicy,
                                                         Filter filter)

Deprecated. Since 2.7; use newBuilder()

Creates a RoutingAppender.

Parameters:

name - The name of the Appender.

ignore - If "true" (default) exceptions encountered when appending events are logged; otherwise they are propagated to the caller.

routes - The routing definitions.

config - The Configuration (automatically added by the Configuration).

rewritePolicy - A RewritePolicy, if any.

filter - A Filter to restrict events processed by the Appender or null.

Returns:

The RoutingAppender
