Logback LogBack

1.简介

　　LogBack是一个日志框架，它与Log4j可以说是同出一源，都出自Ceki Gülcü之手。（log4j的原型是早前由Ceki Gülcü贡献给Apache基金会的）

1.1 LogBack,Slf4j,Log4j之间的关系

　　Slf4j是The Simple Logging Facade for Java的简称，是一个简单日志门面抽象框架，它本身只提供了日志Facade API和一个简单的日志类实现，一般常配合Log4j，LogBack，java.util.logging使用。Slf4j作为应用层的Log接入时，程序可以根据实际应用场景动态调整底层的日志实现框架(Log4j/LogBack/JdkLog...)；

　　LogBack和Log4j都是开源日记工具库，LogBack是Log4j的改良版本，比Log4j拥有更多的特性，同时也带来很大性能提升。详细数据可参照下面地址：Reasons to prefer logback over log4j

　　LogBack官方建议配合Slf4j使用，这样可以灵活地替换底层日志框架。

　　(note: 为了优化log4j，以及更大性能的提升，Apache基金会已经着手开发了log4j 2.0, 其中也借鉴和吸收了logback的一些先进特性，目前log4j2还处于beta阶段)

1.2 LogBack的结构

　　LogBack被分为3个组件，logback-core, logback-classic 和 logback-access.

　　其中logback-core提供了LogBack的核心功能，是另外两个组件的基础。

　　logback-classic则实现了Slf4j的API，所以当想配合Slf4j使用时，需要将logback-classic加入classpath.

　　logback-access是为了集成Servlet环境而准备的，可提供HTTP-access的日志接口；

2. Slf4j+Logback的快速实践

2.1 资源准备

　　现在常用的是将slf4j+Logback进行配套使用，所以需要将slf4j-api.jar, logback-core.jar, log-classic.jar加入classpath.

　　之后编写logback.xml配置文件，同样该文件要加入classpath中，这样LogBack启动的时候会自动扫描到并加载。

　　(note: 若LogBack无法检索到相关的配置文件，则会启用默认配置，将日志按照默认格式输出于控制台)

2.2 logback.xml配置

　　LogBack的配置大概包括3部分，Appender,Logger,Root的配置。

　　　　　　

　　下面通过一个配置文件的示例来快速了解logback的配置：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration debug="true" scan="true" scanPeriod="30 seconds"> 

  <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">

    <encoder>
        <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%level] - %m%n</pattern>

        <!-- 常用的Pattern变量,大家可打开该pattern进行输出观察 -->
        <!--

    <appender-ref ref="INFO-OUT" />
    <appender-ref ref="DEBUG-OUT" />

另一个更简单的：

<configuration debug="true" scan="false" scanPeriod="30 seconds"> 

  <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">

    </encoder>

      <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">

  </appender>

  <!-- 按日期和大小区分的滚动日志 -->
  <appender name="DEBUG-OUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">

  </appender>

  <root level="debug">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    <appender-ref ref="APP" />
    <appender-ref ref="DEBUG-OUT" />
  </root>
</configuration>

2.3 示例

public class Slf4jTest {

    private static Logger Log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Slf4jTest.class);

    @Test
    public void testLogBack(){

        Log.debug("Test the MessageFormat for {} to {} endTo {}", 1,2,3);
        Log.info("Test the MessageFormat for {} to {} endTo {}", 1,2,3);
        Log.error("Test the MessageFormat for {} to {} endTo {}", 1,2,3);

        try{
            throw new IllegalStateException("try to throw an Exception");
        }catch(Exception e){
            Log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
        }
    }

}

　　输出：
