Hello guys, today, I am going to share one small but the useful tip about logging in to your Java application. If your Java application is a weekly restart, I mean it starts on Sunday and not again on the weekday, then you really want to have separate log files for each day. This helps during troubleshooting and debugging. But If you are facing a problem where your log files are not rolling daily and becoming bigger and bigger after each passing day, making it challenging to search anything in case of any production issue, then it might be that you have not configured your Log4j properly to roll your logs daily.

Hello guys, if you are wondering how to use a logging library like Log4j or SLF4j in Java then you have come to the right place. In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement logging in your Java program using the Log4j library. Log4j is a Java based open source library from Apache Software Foundation, which is widely used for logging messages in Java applications. In order to use log4j in your application, you first need to download log4j.jar files from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/download.html site.

How to send Logging Messages to SysLog using Log4j2 SysLogAppender in Linux ? Java Example
Sometimes you may want to route your log messages to Syslog in UNIX-based environment like Linux. Since logger allows multiple appenders, you can print the same log messages to a log file, console, and route it to Syslog at the same time. In order to send log messages to Syslog using log4j2, you need to make some changes in your log4j2.xml file. This change is to include the Syslog appender and configure that, once you do that you also need to enable TCP or UDP reception by editing rsyslog.conf file. For faster transmission you can choose UDP protocol and configure a port number on which your Syslog is listening, In our example, Syslog is listening on port 618. Let's see the complete step-by-step guide to configure Syslog logging in log4j logger.
