Parse a log4j log file

by

I didn’t realize that Log4J ships with an XML appender.

Solution was: specify an XML appender in the logging configuration file, include that output XML file as an entity into a well formed XML file, then parse the XML using your favorite technique.

The other methods had the following limitations:

  • Apache Chainsaw – not automated enough
  • jdbc – poor performance in a high performance distributed app
