Logging
ActiveMQ uses the JBoss Logging framework to do its logging and is
configurable via the logging.properties
file found in the
configuration directories. This is configured by Default to log to both
the console and to a file.
There are 6 loggers available which are as follows:
Logger Logger Description
org.jboss.logging Logs any calls not handled by the ActiveMQ loggers org.apache.activemq.core.server Logs the core server org.apache.activemq.utils Logs utility calls org.apache.activemq.journal Logs Journal calls org.apache.activemq.jms Logs JMS calls org.apache.activemq.integration.bootstrap Logs bootstrap calls
: Global Configuration Properties
Logging in a client or with an Embedded server
Firstly, if you want to enable logging on the client side you need to include the JBoss logging jars in your library. If you are using maven add the following dependencies.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.logmanager</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-logmanager</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-core-client</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
There are 2 properties you need to set when starting your java program,
the first is to set the Log Manager to use the JBoss Log Manager, this
is done by setting the -Djava.util.logging.manager
property i.e.
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager
The second is to set the location of the logging.properties file to use,
this is done via the -Dlogging.configuration
for instance
-Dlogging.configuration=file:///home/user/projects/myProject/logging.properties
.
Note
The value for this needs to be valid URL
The following is a typical logging.properties for a client
