[Quickfixj-users] MESSAGE and Events logs

I wish to change these logs so they roll on a 24 hour basis.  Is it
possible somebody could send me a sample configuration of how to achieve

See my previous mail how to use SLF4J. If you choose log4j, you can use the 
DailyRollingFileAppender. Just edit the log4j.properties found in your CLASSPATH to contain these lines:

log4j.rootCategory=ALL, Default

log4j.appender.Default=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.Default.File=<path of your log file>
log4j.appender.Default.DatePattern=-yyyyMMdd

Note that you can use system properties (e.g. user.home) using the syntax ${user.home}.

Check log4j docs for more details.

Regarding JDK 1.4 java.util.logging, check the docs or ask Tommy, he seems to use that.

Cheers, Jörg

My apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but did anyone had this 
log4j and DailyRollingFileAppender setup working with QuickFix/J ? I 
tried it and the log shows on screen, but there are no log files created 
anywhere...

Thanks in advance,
t.s.

My apologies to the list. My ISP's smtp server seem to be having 
trouble, so my last email showed up multiple times.

TS,

We are using the RollingFileAppender (almost same as DailyRollingFileAppender).
See our example at
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/browser/platform/tags/0.3.1/core/src/main/resources/log4j-appliance.properties

Seems like you may have the appender defined, but since everything is
showing up on stdout your log4.rootLogger line may not be configured
correctly to point to that. Double-check that and you may be able to
to get it working.

look at the sample file, line 14: it points to file appender, and file
is defined above to use RollingFileAppender

These are MINA debug statements. We are seeing these in stdout as
well, that's b/c MINA uses either java commons logging or apache
commons logging (i believe) so it's not governed by log4j properties
file. I tried to get it to output somewhere else with
java.util.logging.properties file, but i don't think we ever got it to
work.

Otherwise, since you are using SLF4J, check your lib directory. You
should have these: slf4j-api-1.3.0.jar      slf4j-log4j12-1.3.0.jar

If you have anything else, SLF4J may use a different logging provider
instead of log4j so that may be why it's not picking up the configs.

Also, check your session settings (or your code) and make sure you are
only using the SLF4JLogFactory and not ScreenLogFactory - that would
also explain what you are seeing.

Here's the content of my log4j.properties file:
...
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, Default

log4j.appender.Default=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.Default.File=/log.txt
log4j.appender.Default.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
...
and here's my quickfix config entries:
...
SLF4JLogEventCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.events
SLF4JLogIncomingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.incoming
SLF4JLogOutgoingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.outgoing
SLF4JLogPrependSessionID=Y
...

No luck so far.
Something like the following did show up on the console screen
...
04:41:36,250 [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  events - xxx: Session xxx schedule 
is daily, 00:00:00 UTC - 00:00:00 UTC
04:41:36,250 [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  events - xxx: Created session: xxx
04:41:37,875 [SocketConnectorIoProcessor-0.0] INFO  InitiatorIoHandler - 
MINA session created: /xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx
04:41:38,406 [QFJ Timer] INFO  outgoing - xxx: blah blah blah
...

But i didn't even configure a console appender like you did. No log 
files created, as far as i can see, and these messages also shows up 
even if i delete the log4j.properties file. So maybe quickfix/j (and 
log4j) cannot find the file ?

My apologies if this is a log4j question and not a quickfix/j issue.

t.s.

I see. So i shouldn't be worried about those just yet...

Check. Both files are in the lib directory.

Right now my lib directory contains:
	quickfixj.jar
	backport-util-concurrent-2.1.jar
	mina-core-1.0.1-sources.jar
	mina-core-1.0.1.jar
	slf4j-api-1.3.0.jar
	log4j-1-2.4.jar
	slf4j-log4j12-1.3.0.jar

> Also, check your session settings (or your code) and make sure you are

Check. Here's the code :
...
   settings = new SessionSettings(new
	FileInputStream(QUICKFIX_CONFIG_FILENAME));
   storeFactory = new FileStoreFactory(settings);
   messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory();
   logFactory = new SLF4JLogFactory(settings);

   //logFactory = new FileLogFactory(settings);
   //logFactory = new ScreenLogFactory(settings);

   initiator = new SocketInitiator ( this, storeFactory,
	settings, logFactory, messageFactory);
...

quickfix/j config file is like this :
...
SLF4JLogEventCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.events
SLF4JLogIncomingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.incoming
SLF4JLogOutgoingMessageCategory=${senderCompID}.${targetCompID}.outgoing
SLF4JLogPrependSessionID=Y
...

I even cleaned out all the references to FileLogXXXXX and ScreenLogXXXX 
entries. Still no avail. Just to make sure i'm not barking up the wrong 
tree, where *should* one put the slf4j.properties file ?

At this state, i don't even know how to test whether it's working 
properly, other than "it doesn't create the log file". Any 
pointers/hints will be very much appreciated...

Thank you,
t.s.

All of your configs look correct. Here are a couple notes, just to be sure:
1. it's log4j.properties not slf4j.properties. it should be anywhere
on the classpath. we explicitly
add the conf/ directory that has our log4j.properties file to the
classpath. You can also just jar it into your app, for example.
2. in the sample log4j.properties file you sent earlier you have the
output going to /log.txt. If you are not running the process as root,
can it be as simple as not having write permissions? Try just the
log4j.appender.Default.File=log.txt

to have it print to a local directory first.

3. Also, if nothing is still working, change this line to print to
stdout first to see if anything is outputted:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,stdout

that should give you some Log4J-looking lines (with DEBUG statements)
and then you can go debug from there...

but otherwise, your setup looks correct.
