2.4.7. Selecting Log Handlers
The following are the most common uses for each of the log handler types available for JBoss Data Grid:
- The
Console
log handler is preferred when JBoss Data Grid is administered using the command line. In such a case, errors and log messages appear on the console window and are not saved unless separately configured to do so. - The
File
log handler is used to direct log entries into a specified file. This simplicity is useful if the requirement is to store all log entries according to the time in one place. - The
Periodic
log handler is similar to theFile
handler but creates files according to the specified period. As an example, this handler can be used to accumulate log messages on a weekly, daily, hourly or other basis depending on the requirements of the environment. - The
Size
log handler also writes log messages to a specified file, but only while the log file size is within a specified limit. Once the file size reaches the specified limit, log files are written to a new log file. This handler is best suited to an environment where the log file size must be consistent. - The
Async
log handler is a wrapper that forces other log handlers to operate asynchronously. This is best suited to an environment where high latency is a problem or when writing to a network file system. - The
Custom
log handler creates new, customized types of log handlers. This is an advanced log handler.
