Upgrading to UAA 4.35.0 from UAA 4.30.0 stopped the UAA logging #uaa


Shetty, Viraj S [CTR]
 

When I was using UAA 4.30.0, UAA used to log a lot of messages which was fine. However, I recently upgraded the UAA to 4.35.0 and the logging stopped working. I deploy UAA by getting the source from github link below, compiled it and then deployed using cloudfoundry push command

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/uaa/releases/tag/4.35.0

I understand that there was a change made to logging in 4.31.0 -  Upgrade to Log4j2 logging framework 

What do I need to do to get logging back ? Do I need to create a log4j2 file ? If so, where do I need to save it. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
Viraj

Hi Viraj,

Please check the release notes of UAA 4.31.0 which shared the changes you need to make, there are also additional comments from the tracker story if you need more details. 

Thanks,
Chao

Thanks Chaos. The doc says to create a custom env logging.config and point to log4j2 format file. Just like in the previous versions, why can we not get the logging by default ? 

Should I just create a custom log4j2.properties config file ? Is there an example of one that I can use ? The UAA war file does not contain a log4j2.properties otherwise i could have pointed to that. 

What is the best way to do this ? I am using the cloudfoundry environment, so I can't just push a log4j2.properties file. 

Thanks,
Viraj

I added a console setup and removed the file setup before compiling and it works. 

appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern = ${log_pattern}
 
rootLogger.level = INFO
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = STDOUT
 
logger.cfIdentity.name = org.cloudfoundry.identity
logger.cfIdentity.level = debug
