Separate PegaRULES log for each application running on same server
Is it possible to write each application logs to a separate file, provided if all apps are running on same PRPC instance?
I looked at the following articles and they are all for a different purpose: Re: How to create separate log file and https://pdn.pega.com/how-customize-logs-prloggingxml-file and http://pdn.pega.com/forums/system-operations/separate-log4j-log-file
Any ideas and suggestions please.

Those articles may be all for different purposes but I would think the log4j mechanism described in them would be useful for you. I suggest you try a few examples of using it. /Eric
Thanks Eric. Looks like writing specific log entries from each application (for example: using log-message method or oLog.info, oLog.infoForced, oLog.error etc) to separate files can be achieved with custom loggers. But having entirely different log files for different Pega applications seems to be far away from reach (since Pega applications doesn't have isolation at the Container level and resides in the same context_root, I don't think we can ever have two prlogging.xml files (log4j) ). If two applications are built on the same Framework on same PRPC server, possibly single log file will be OK. If situation demands to have a separate log file for each Pega project that's built independent of each other with very little to no re-use, it's not too much to ask to have separate log files. Can this be a possible enhancement request?
