4
|
+
is part of the Apache Log4j library. See the NDC documentation for
|
5
|
+
more details. MDCs are much like NDCs, but instead of a stack context
|
6
|
+
it uses a map for holding this information.
|
7
|
+
|
8
|
+
This allows for selection of information out of the map when
|
9
|
+
the log message is being created.
|
10
|
+
|
11
|
+
MDCs are thread safe, and are unique to each thread.
|
12
|
+
|
13
|
+
An important difference between MDCs in Log4r vs Log4j is that they
|
14
|
+
only inherit from the main thread. Ruby treats all new threads as
|
15
|
+
being the children of the main thread, even if they are started
|
16
|
+
from a thread that is not main.

The NDC class implements a copy of the Nested Diagnostic Context, which

NDCs in Log4r are thread safe.

|
11

NDCs in log4r are close enough to NDCs in Log4j that I include its

documentation directly:

|

...
|

A Nested Diagnostic Context, or NDC in short, is an instrument to
|
16
|
+
distinguish interleaved log output from different sources. Log output
|
17
|
+
is typically interleaved when a server handles multiple clients
|
18
|
+
near-simultaneously.
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
Interleaved log output can still be meaningful if each log entry from
|
21
|
+
different contexts had a distinctive stamp. This is where NDCs come into
|
22
|
+
play.
|
23
|
+
|
24
|
+
Note that NDCs are managed on a per thread basis. NDC operations such as
|
25
|
+
push, pop(), clear(), getDepth() and setMaxDepth(int) affect the NDC of
|
26
|
+
the current thread only. NDCs of other threads remain unaffected.
|
27
|
+
...
|
28
|
+
|
29
|
+
An important difference between NDCs in Log4r vs Log4j is that you
|
30
|
+
do not have to called NDC.remove() when exiting a thread.
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
This class will automatically create Thread specific storage for the
|
33
|
+
current thread on the first call to any of its methods, i.e.
|
34
|
+
|
35
|
+
NDC.push( "client accept" );
|
36
|
+
|
37
|
+
New threads may inherit the NDC of the parent thread by making use of
|
38
|
+
the clone_stack() and inherit() methods. By default, the NDC is not
|
39
|
+
inherited automatically. This is unlike MDCs, which will inherit from
|
40
|
+
the main thread.

= Configuring Log4r with Log4r::Configurator
|
2
|
+
|
3
|
+
The Configurator class allows one to set up Log4r via XML.
|
4
|
+
Additionally, Configurator contains methods to configure any Log4r
|
5
|
+
defaults. In particular, Configurator provides a method to
|
6
|
+
customize the logging levels.
|
7
|
+
|
8
|
+
Log4r is also configurable using YAML. For that, there is
|
9
|
+
a class similar to Configurator called Log4r::YamlConfigurator. Please see
|
10
|
+
log4r/yamlconfigurator.rb for details.
|
11
|
+
|
12
|
+
REXML is required for XML configuration. Get REXML at
|
13
|
+
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=REXML
|
14
|
+
|
15
|
+
To use the Configurator class,
|
16
|
+
|
17
|
+
require 'log4r/configurator'
|
18
|
+
|
19
|
+
== Custom Levels
|
20
|
+
|
21
|
+
Suppose you want the following levels and ranks:
|
22
|
+
|
23
|
+
Foo < Bar < Baz
|
24
|
+
|
25
|
+
This is easily accomplished:
|
26
|
+
|
27
|
+
Configurator.custom_levels('Foo', 'Bar', :Baz)
|
28
|
+
|
29
|
+
The method accepts strings or symbols. However, custom levels must have names
|
30
|
+
that are valid for Ruby constants. Also, custom levels should be set before
|
31
|
+
anything else is done with Log4r, otherwise the default levels will be loaded.
|
32
|
+
|
33
|
+
You can set custom levels in XML. That's covered in the following section.
|
34
|
+
|
35
|
+
== XML Configuration
|
36
|
+
|
37
|
+
If you have REXML, you can configure Log4r with XML.
|
38
|
+
To do this, first write an XML configuration (which you can learn by
|
39
|
+
studying this document and the examples provided in the distribution)
|
40
|
+
and then load up the XML from within your program as follows:
|
41
|
+
|
42
|
+
Configurator.load_xml_file('/path/to/file.xml')
|
43
|
+
|
44
|
+
The Log4r XML configuration system is very flexible and powerful. In fact,
|
45
|
+
it is somewhat preferable to configuring Log4r in Ruby. In order to take
|
46
|
+
full advantage of this feature, there are several concepts one must know.
|
47
|
+
They are covered in the following three sections.
|
48
|
+
|
49
|
+
=== Concept: XML Directives
|
50
|
+
|
51
|
+
The expressive power of Ruby has enabled a feature I call
|
52
|
+
<i>XML directives</i>. An XML directive is a name-value pair belonging to
|
53
|
+
some element. It
|
54
|
+
may be represented as an attribute (name="value") of the element, or
|
55
|
+
as a child (<name>value</name>) of the element. Therefore, you are
|
56
|
+
free to specify information about an object as either an attribute
|
57
|
+
or an element. An example should clarify:
|
58
|
+
|
59
|
+
<object data="value"/>
|
60
|
+
|
61
|
+
Is equivalent to:
|
62
|
+
|
63
|
+
<object>
|
64
|
+
<data>value</data>
|
65
|
+
</object>
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
You can assume this behavior except where noted elsewhere in the API.
|
68
|
+
|
69
|
+
=== Concept: XML Parameters
|
70
|
+
|
71
|
+
A scheme which I call <i>XML parameters</i> enables one to utilize the XML
|
72
|
+
configuratin system for custom Outputters and Formatters.
|
73
|
+
This requires <b>no</b> extra work on your part, so long as your objects
|
74
|
+
are set up using hash arguments and can decode string values. That is, once
|
75
|
+
you've written a custom Outputter, it is automatically configurable in XML
|
76
|
+
without having to write any extra code.
|
77
|
+
|
78
|
+
An XML parameter is analogous to a hash argument to some object's <tt>new</tt>
|
79
|
+
method. Consider these hash arguments to FileOutputter:
|
80
|
+
|
81
|
+
:filename => '/path/to/logs/my.log'
|
82
|
+
:trunc => 'true'
|
83
|
+
|
84
|
+
We can specify them in XML like this:
|
85
|
+
|
86
|
+
<outputter type="FileOutputter" trunc="true">
|
87
|
+
<filename>/path/to/logs/my.log</filename>
|
88
|
+
...
|
89
|
+
|
90
|
+
The name of the element/attribute is just the name of the parameter. Note that
|
91
|
+
the input will be a string, thus it's wise to convert the data in from
|
92
|
+
strings in any custom classes (to_i for integers, etc). Now let's suppose you
|
93
|
+
have defined a custom Outputter named MyOutputter with the following
|
94
|
+
additional hash args:
|
95
|
+
|
96
|
+
:myarg1 => 'foo'
|
97
|
+
:myarg2 => 123
|
98
|
+
|
99
|
+
Automagically, you can configure your Outputter like so:
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
<outputter type="MyOutputter" myarg2="123">
|
102
|
+
<myarg1>foo</myarg1>
|
103
|
+
...
|
104
|
+
|
105
|
+
Isn't that nice? <tt>:-)</tt>
|
106
|
+
|
107
|
+
=== Concept: Variable Substitution
|
108
|
+
|
109
|
+
To kill the need for preprocessors, Configurator provides a means of variable
|
110
|
+
substitution for XML parameters at runtime. If you specify
|
111
|
+
<tt>#{foo}</tt> in an XML parameter value, Configurator will replace it with
|
112
|
+
the value of 'foo' in its parameter hashtable. The primary idea is that you
|
113
|
+
can figure stuff out in your program,
|
114
|
+
say the log path, and relay that information to the XML while it's being
|
115
|
+
loaded. Secondarily, it is a way to have aliases within an XML document.
|
116
|
+
|
117
|
+
There are two ways to tell Configurator about these variables. The first
|
118
|
+
method we'll cover is done within a Ruby program with Configurator[].
|
119
|
+
|
120
|
+
Configurator['logpath'] = '/path/to/logs'
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
Thereafter, any occurence of <tt>#{logpath}</tt> in each and every XML
|
123
|
+
parameter will be substituted with '/path/to/logs'. For example:
|
124
|
+
|
125
|
+
<filename>#{logpath}/mylog.log</filename>
|
126
|
+
|
127
|
+
Becomes,
|
128
|
+
|
129
|
+
<filename>/path/to/logs/mylog.log</filename>
|
130
|
+
|
131
|
+
Aside from Configurator[], another way to define XML parameter variables
|
132
|
+
is to define <tt>parameters</tt> under the <tt><pre_config></tt> element
|
133
|
+
of an XML configuration:
|
134
|
+
|
135
|
+
<pre_config>
|
136
|
+
<parameter name="logpath" value="/path/to/logs'/>
|
137
|
+
<parameter name="other" value="somethingelse'/>
|
138
|
+
...
|
139
|
+
</pre_config>
|
140
|
+
|
141
|
+
Alternatively,
|
142
|
+
|
143
|
+
<pre_config>
|
144
|
+
<parameters>
|
145
|
+
<logpath>/path/to/logs</logpath>
|
146
|
+
<other>somethingelse</other>
|
147
|
+
...
|
148
|
+
</parameters>
|
149
|
+
...
|
150
|
+
|
151
|
+
The end result is the same as using Configurator[]. However, this method
|
152
|
+
is not dynamic. Configurator[] should be used when you want to set variables
|
153
|
+
from within Ruby.
|
154
|
+
|
155
|
+
= XML Grammar
|
156
|
+
|
157
|
+
And now, here's the XML grammar we use to configure Log4r.
|
158
|
+
|
159
|
+
== Root Element
|
160
|
+
|
161
|
+
The root element is <tt><log4r_config></tt>. It can be embedded as a node of
|
162
|
+
any other element in an XML file. For instance:
|
163
|
+
|
164
|
+
<my-xml-thing>
|
165
|
+
<customize-libraries>
|
166
|
+
<log4r_config>
|
167
|
+
<!-- log4r configuratin goes here -->
|
168
|
+
</log4r_config>
|
169
|
+
...
|
170
|
+
|
171
|
+
== Pre-config element
|
172
|
+
|
173
|
+
The pre_config element is a child of log4r_config and contains:
|
174
|
+
|
175
|
+
* 'custom_levels' element
|
176
|
+
* 'global' element
|
177
|
+
* 'parameters' element
|
178
|
+
* any number of 'parameter' elements
|
179
|
+
|
180
|
+
=== Pre_config: Custom Levels
|
181
|
+
|
182
|
+
The custom_levels element is not an <i>XML directive</i> of pre_config. It
|
183
|
+
<b>must</b> be specified like this:
|
184
|
+
|
185
|
+
<custom_levels>Foo, Bar, Baz</custom_levels>
|
186
|
+
|
187
|
+
And <b>not</b> like this:
|
188
|
+
|
189
|
+
<!-- NOT SUPPORTED -->
|
190
|
+
<custom_levels levels="Foo, Bar, Baz"/>
|
191
|
+
|
192
|
+
=== Pre_config: Global Level
|
193
|
+
|
194
|
+
<global level="DEBUG"/>
|
195
|
+
|
196
|
+
or
|
197
|
+
|
198
|
+
<global><level>DEBUG</level></global>
|
199
|
+
|
200
|
+
Here, level is an XML directive of global.
|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
=== Pre_config: Parameters
|
203
|
+
|
204
|
+
Parameters are variables that will be substituted later on. Please
|
205
|
+
see the <b>Concept: Variable Substitution</b> section above. Parameters
|
206
|
+
are <i>XML Directives</i>, which means they can be expressed using elements
|
207
|
+
or attributes. Here is an example:
|
208
|
+
|
209
|
+
<parameter name="param name 1" value="param value 1">
|
210
|
+
<parameter name="param name 2" value="param value 2">
|
211
|
+
...
|
212
|
+
<parameters>
|
213
|
+
<param3>value3</param3>
|
214
|
+
<param4>value3</param4>
|
215
|
+
...
|
216
|
+
|

|
238
|
+
The XML configuration grammar for Loggers, Outputters and the like are
|
239
|
+
covered in the usage guidelines for those classes.
|
240
|
+
|
241
|
+
== Order Doesn't Matter
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
You can (it is hoped) define any of the XML objects in any order desired.
|
