Appender Properties

As we mentioned before, LogBox ships with over 10 different appenders for your logging and tracing needs. Some of them require configuration properties and some don't. We already discovered that when we configure an appender we can pass in a structure of properties much like how we configure ColdBox Interceptors. Each appender can implement as many properties as they see fit. We will digest all the included LogBox appenders and their configuration properties.

Async Property

All appenders have an async boolean property by default inherited from LogBox. This will tell LogBox to log asynchronously in a separate thread. By default all logging is done synchronously

CFAppender

This appender logs directly to the cflog tag by using a custom file or logging to the application logs.

ConsoleAppender

This appender logs using Java's System.out.println function. Logs will appear in the directory specificied in your CF or Lucee Administrator.

DBAppender

The columns needed or created in the table are

id : UUID
severity : string
category : string
logdate : timestamp
appendername : string
message : string
extrainfo : string

If you are building a column mapper, the map must have the above keys in it that match to your own table columns.
