Customizing the Destination for Log Messages

By default, the log4j logging utility sends log messages to files. You can configure the log4j utility to send log messages to a destination that is different from the default log files with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The installer installs the file that the log4j utility requires to work with SNMP.

Complete the following tasks to change the destination:

Add an SNMP appender to the log4j properties file and set the logging level. Change the sample SNMP appender in the log4j.xml file to the appender that you want to use. You can add multiple appenders to the log4j.xml file that send different types of log messages to different SNMP outputs.

Configure an SNMP manager to listen for messages. For information about configuring the SNMP manager to handle log4j messages, see the documentation for your SNMP network management software.

For general information about the log4j utility, see the Apache Web site: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
