Class RoutingAppender

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Appender, Filterable, LocationAware, LifeCycle, LifeCycle2

    @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

      • 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()
        Returns an unmodifiable view of the appenders created by this RoutingAppender. Note that this map does not contain appenders that are routed by reference.
      • 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,

        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
