Procedure 11.4. Set the Target

  • Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. Replace HANDLER with the name of the console log handler. Replace TARGET with either System.err or System.out for the system error stream or standard out stream respectively. 
     /subsystem=logging/console-handler=HANDLER:write-attribute(name="target", value="TARGET")

    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=logging/console-handler=ERRORCONSOLE:write-attribute(name="target", value="System.err")
{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 /]

Procedure 11.5. Set the Encoding

  • Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. Replace HANDLER with the name of the console log handler. Replace ENCODING with the name of the required character encoding system.

{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 /]

Procedure 11.6. Set the Formatter

  • Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. Replace HANDLER with the name of the console log handler. Replace FORMAT with the required formatter string. 
     /subsystem=logging/console-handler=HANDLER:write-attribute(name="formatter", value="FORMAT")

    Example 11.17. 

    [standalone@l/subsystem=logging/console-handler=ERRORCONSOLE:write-attribute(name="formatter", value="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"))
{"outcome" => "success"}
[standalone@localhost:9999 /]

Procedure 11.7. Set the Auto Flush

  • Use the write-attribute operation with the following syntax. Replace HANDLER with the name of the console log handler. Replace BOOLEAN with true if this handler is to immediately write its output.
