Ok, I'm digging into this. Slowly but surely.... Just to confirm...
So if I have, say 2 hosts, each with 3 web apps, and I want a different log
file for each web app on each host, I need to define 6 of the following:
10host1webapp1.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
10host1webapp1.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
10host1webapp1.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = Host1App1.
.... through
15host2webapp3.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
15host2webapp3.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs
15host2webapp3.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = Host2App3.
And then define 6 of the following:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[host1].[/webapp1].level
= INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[host1].[/webapp1].handlers
= 10host1webapp1.org.apache.juli.FileHandler
...through
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[host2].[/webapp3].level
= INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[host2].[/webapp3].handlers
= 15host2webapp3.org.apache.juli.FileHandler
and I put all of this in /conf/logging.properties
All of this is required in order to get separate log files per webapp per
host, right?
Thanks.
