Field Detail

PATTERN

static final String PATTERN

ObjectName pattern ("org.apache.logging.log4j2:type=%s,component=Appenders,name=%s") for AppenderAdmin MBeans. This pattern contains two variables, where the first is the name of the context, the second is the name of the instrumented appender.

You can find all registered AppenderAdmin MBeans like this:

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

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

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