Why should you log?

How do you log?
We are stable! Log4j 2.1

CHALLENGES
SPEED!
Failsafe. Reliable.
Compability.
Taste.
L o g g i n g with Duke
Too much t a s t e . . .
m a k e s headache! Think on: log4j, logback, JUL, TinyLog, AVSL
Pills: Some Abstraction Layers
Commons Logging log4j 1 log4j 2 logback JUL Which pill?
slf4j Commons Logging log4j 1 log4j 2 logback JUL AVSL
Which pill?

New kids on the block log4j 2
log4j 2.x is the future of log4j
New in log4j 2.x
Instead: if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.info("Hi, " + u.getA() + “ “
+ u.getB()); Write: logger.info("Hi, {} {} ", u.getA(), u.getB()); API++
Marker: Marker SQL_MARKER = MarkerManager.getMarker("SQL"); logger.debug( SQL_MARKER, "SELECT * FROM
{}", table); Better Filter
@Plugin(name = "Mine", type = "Core", elementType = "appender") public
class Mine extends AppenderBase { private Mine(String name, Filter f) { super(name, f, null); } public void append(LogEvent e) { … } Plugins
@PluginFactory public static Mine create( @PluginAttr("name") String n, @PluginElement("filters") Filter
f) { return new Mine(n, f); } Plugins
<appenders> <Mine name="Hello_Linz" …> <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm} %msg%n"/> </Mine> </appenders> Configuration
