Logback error messages and their meanings
The contextSelector cannot be
null in StaticLoggerBinder
.
An IllegalStateException
is thrown when no
ContextSelector could be set for logback's
StaticLoggerBinder
. In principle, this error can only
occur when the context selector is expressly specified by the user,
and when that context selector cannot not be instantiated correctly.
It should not happen when you are using the default or JNDI context selectors.
No remote host or
address is set for SocketAppender
A remote host or address is mandatory for SocketAppender.
You can specify the remote host in the configuration file as follows.
<appender name="SOCKET" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SocketAppender"> ... <remoteHost>127.0.0.1</remoteHost> ... </appender>
No remote port is set for
SocketAppender
A remote port is mandatory for SocketAppender.
You can specify the remote port in the configuration file like this:
<appender name="SOCKET" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SocketAppender"> ... <port>4560</port> ... </appender>
No Layout
is set for SMTPAppender
A Layout
is mandatory for
SMTPAppender
. It allows SMPTPAppender to format logging
events before sending an email.
You can specify the Layout
in a configuration file
as follows:
<appender name="SMTP" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender"> ... <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <pattern>%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %msg%n"></pattern> </layout> ... </appender>
SMTPAppender is known to work well with PatternLayout and HTMLLayout.
Specified number is not in proper int form, or not expected format.
When you specify the MaxFileSize to be used by the SizeBasedRollingPolicy, logback expects a rather precise format:
- The number has to be an integer
- You can add 'KB', 'MB' or 'GB' after the number.
Here are some correct values: 500KB, 15MB, 2GB.
No
TriggeringPolicy
was set for the
RollingFileAppender
.
The RollingFileAppender
must be set up with a
TriggeringPolicy
. It permits the Appender to know when
the rollover must be activated.
To find more information about TriggeringPolicy
objects, please read the following javadocs:
Please note that the TimeBasedRollingPolicy
is a TriggeringPolicy and and
RollingPolicy
at the same time.
No RollingPolicy
was set
for the RollingFileAppender
.
The RollingFileAppender
must be set up with
a RollingPolicy
. It permits the Appender to
know what to do when a rollover is requested.
To find more information about RollingPolicy
objects, please read the following javadocs:
Please note that the TimeBasedRollingPolicy
is a
TriggeringPolicy
and and RollingPolicy at
the same time.
The FileNamePattern property for both
TimeBasedRollingPolicy
and
FixedWindowRollingPolicy
is mandatory.
Please refer to the documentation of TimeBasedRollingPolicy and FixedWindowRollingPolicy for examples.
The File property must be set before any rolling policy or triggering policy.
The File property, if present, must be placed before any rolling policy or triggering policy. Thus, in a configuration file, the File property, if present, must be declared declared before any rolling policy or triggering policy declarations.
The File property must be set before
FixedWindowRollingPolicy
The File property is mandatory with
FixedWindowRollingPolicy
. Moreover, the File option must be set before the
FixedWindowRollingPolicy
element.
Refer to the logback manual on FixedWindowRollingPolicy for more information.
Prudent mode is not supported
with FixedWindowRollingPolicy
.
Given that FixedWindowRollingPolicy
performs
multiple file rename operations suring roll over, and that these
operations cannot be guaranteed to be safe in a multi-JVM context,
prudent mode is not allowed in conjuction with a
FixedWindowRollingPolicy
.
SyslogAppender does not admit a layout.
Given that the format of a syslog request follows strict rules, you cannot freely specify the layout to be used with SyslogAppender. However, you can use SuffixPattern option instead to influence the contents of the message sent to the syslog daemon.
For more information on SyslogAppeder please refer to the its documentation.
