Log4j 2 - Socket Server

Because there no download and run solution for start socket server of Log4j version 2, That is why I made it!.

How to use

Server

run start.sh script to start server with default configuration.

Default configuration will start TcpSocketServer and logging with RollingRandomAccessFile. listen info level log at port 8000. See more default properties below.

input exit to stop server.

Client

Use SocketAppenders for log to Logging Server.

<Configuration status="warn" name="AwesomeApp" packages="your.awesome.package">
    <Appenders>
        <Socket name="socket" host="localhost" port="8000">
            <SerializedLayout />
        </Socket>
    </Appenders>

    <Loggers>
        <Root level="info">
            <AppenderRef ref="socket"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

You may change localhost to address of Logging Server (May be port 8000 too), Then you can see log at logs/ under this project directory at Log server.

Customize

Change log4j.xml and start.sh to whatever you want then start server. I recommend to folk this project to control change of your configuration.
