Add a custom log file -- Category needed for custom appenders but not for PegaRules
Hi,
I need to create a custom log file. Therefore, I copied the appender tag content present for pegarules log file in prlogging.xml and pasted it by just changing the appender name to "PegaCustom" and file name pattern. Restarted the server and custom log file was not created.
But, after including a Category tag for the custom appender, it got created.
Why we need to create Category tag for the custome appender, if there is no category tag for PegaRules and PegaAlert.
Category tag is present for BIX log type and Its not present for PegaRules, PegaAlert appenders.
<category additivity="false" name="BIX">
<priority value="info"/>
<appender-ref ref="BIXSERVICES-PAL"/>
</category>
Thanks

Without adding categories, what did you expect to be added into the logs? Everything? If that were the case, why not just change the name of the PegaRULES log?
I'm not 100% certain, but it's either because of the ASYNC and ALERT-ASYNC appenders that go on to reference the RULES and RULES-ALERT logs or it's just how it's been coded out of the box.
In any case, if you create your own custom log file, you will need to create category tags.

Got it!!. I just had a question, why category is not present for PegaRules and PegaAlert. Its cleared now. Thanks!!
As you said, it may be because of ASYNC things. Can you provide some more info on this, If possible.
Please, provide a link or document, such that if it can guide us -- how can we use the parameters in the appender.
I am trying to configure this and Please, help me out.
