Event-Provider
To send Events to the lema-server you have a an event provider. Currently we only support an log4j appender. In order to use it you need log4j (>= 1.2.8). Simply add the lema-log4j-provider to your classpath.
Configuration in log4j.properties
Add a new appender, for instance LemaAppender:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, Console, LemaAppender
Configure the appender:
log4j.appender.LemaAppender=de.lema.appender.LemaAppender log4j.appender.LemaAppender.Threshold=INFO log4j.appender.LemaAppender.Application=YourApplication log4j.appender.LemaAppender.EnviornmentId=3 log4j.appender.LemaAppender.RemoteHost=192.168.0.50 log4j.appender.LemaAppender.ConnectOnDemand=true log4j.appender.LemaAppender.ConnectOnDemandDisconnectTime=60000 log4j.appender.LemaAppender.ReconnectionDelay=5000 log4j.appender.LemaAppender.ConnectionLostStrategy=InMemoryBuffer
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Type | Default |
