Replace or Add a 3rd party logging api like log4j

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to add a extra logging api to the default SAP Portal logging api?

And when it is possible, how can I make it.

Hi,

I would like to print my logs to an SYSLog-Server. So, my idea was that I use the log4j API or did you know a better solution?

Hi,

You can also use the SAP logging and add a new destination, so that it writes into your SYSLog-Server.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

But I would like to change the SAP Portal system-logging-API and not the logging-api for application.

Hi,

I am not sure what you are trying achieve, so it is better you explain you usecase clearly.

The only thing that you can do is implement you own java classes using the SAP Logging API to suite your needs.

For example you implement your own logger class by implementing ILogger class.

Once it is ready you can register it like this:

<Logger name="com.mycompany.portal.foo" loggerInterface="com.sapportals.portal.prt.logger.ILogger" isActive="true">
<LoggerClass className="com.sapportals.portal.prt.logger.SimpleFileLogger" level="ERROR">
<param filename="logs/com.mycompany.portal.foo.log" append="true" /> 
</LoggerClass>
</Logger>
