NIFI : logback.xml SYSLOG

[#1]

hi all,

Do you know how to test logback.xml to send log to rsyslog ? I've restarted nifi node

With this configuration i see anything go out from my host.

    <appender name="loghost" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">
        <syslogHost>syslog.server01.fr</syslogHost>
        <port>1514</port>
        <facility>INFO</facility>
        <suffixPattern>%date %level [%thread] %logger{40} %msg%n</suffixPattern>
    </appender>

    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="loghost"/>
    </root>

thanks

Please check output of the nifi-bootstrap and nifi-app log files. It will tell if there were any errors in the logging configuration. In addition, it's not required to restart NiFi when one changes logback.xml - updates will be picked up and reloaded automatically every 30 seconds.

No any errors found in logs files

Your facility string is incorrect. A list of permissible values is available here: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html Additionally check the syslog receiver port on the other end (default is 514).

@Andrew Grande : for the port, my rsyslog has a custom port 1514

Thanks @Andrew Grande you are right "info" facility doesn't exists.

there is something strange with logback facility

				
					The facility is meant to identify 
						the source of a message.

					The facility option must be set
					to one of the strings KERN, USER, MAIL, DAEMON, AUTH,
					SYSLOG, LPR, NEWS, UUCP, CRON, AUTHPRIV, FTP, NTP, AUDIT,
					ALERT, CLOCK, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4,
					LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. Case is not important.

the nifi has WARN and ERROR but logback didn't has how intercept WARN and ERROR with logback ?

Is the original problem with the 'facility' string solved? Can you accept an answer?

From your logs, now you are running out of JVM memory. Increase the heap size as per https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#bootstrap_properties
