    Hello,

    Hopefully you can see from the screenshot below, you can use Log4j within a Java Compute Node by including JARs and configuration in the BAR file. I achieved this here by switching to the "Navigator" view and putting the JAR files alongside my .java and .class files in /com/martin (and updating the Java Build Path the reference them) and putting the log4j2.xml in the root of the Java project.


    Please reach out if you have any further questions or issues.

    Hi Martin Ross,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Could you please let me know how to implement log4j using compute node and deploy that app on  App Connect Dashboard.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hello,

    You can use the ESQL CREATE function and CALL procedure within a Compute Node to call functions written in Java from ESQL. Please see following App Connect Enterprise documentation for further details:

    Hi Martin Ross,

    I have implemented the Log4j in Compute node as you have mentioned earlier and its working for me.

    Although i have one question in log4j2.xml, in the toolkit locally i am able to create the entries for log4j and lets say i deploy the same bar file on App Connect Dashboard what value should i give in place of below fields in log4j2.xml. so that i can see the log4j entries on dashboard.

    <Property name="basePath">/tmp</Property>
    <File name="FILE" fileName="${basePath}/logfile.log" append="true">


    Please find the attached screenshot.





    Thanks and Regards,
    Sainath reddy

    Hi Sainath,

    Currently there are a few fields and specific values you would have to include - we are working on making this experience better but this should get you going. I have tested a sample flow using 

    the following Log4j configuration:

    <Configuration>
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
        	<PatternLayout pattern='{"custLogSendEnabled":true,"type": "ace_message","tenantId":"XXXXXXXX","logTargetLabel":"CustLog","ibm_datetime":"%d{yyyy-MM-dd}T%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS}Z","loglevel":"info","message":"%m"}%n'/>
        </Console>
    </Appenders>

    <Loggers>
        <Root level="INFO">
            <AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>

</Configuration>

    The tenantId should be set to the identifier for your service instance where the flow is running, this can be seen in the URL for you instance - in the following example the tenantId is "l0hsovciy": https://l0hsovciy-dashboard.p-lon-c1.appconnect.automation.ibm.com/home

    You should then see the logs appear in the built-in log viewer:
