After adding log4j to my application I get the following output every time I execute my application:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (slideselector.facedata.FaceDataParser). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
It seems this means a configuration file is missing. Where should this config file be located and what is a good start content?
I'm using plain java for developing a desktop application. So no webserver etc...
Log4j by default looks for a file called log4j.properties or log4j.xml on the classpath.
You can control which file it uses to initialize itself by setting system properties as described here (Look for the "Default Initialization Procedure" section).
For example:
java -Dlog4j.configuration=customName ....
Will cause log4j to look for a file called customName on the classpath.
If you are having problems I find it helpful to turn on the log4j.debug:
-Dlog4j.debug
It will print to System.out lots of helpful information about which file it used to initialize itself, which loggers / appenders got configured and how etc.
The configuration file can be a java properties file or an xml file. Here is a sample of the properties file format taken from the log4j intro documentation page:
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, R
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=example.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB
# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
java -Dlog4j.configuration=customName? I tried Project / Preferences / Run/Debug Settings , picked some configurations, clicked Edit, Arguments tab, VM arguments. Does the customName include a .xml extension? –
Senter -Dlog4j.debug can help debug your configuration. –
Ebsen -Dlog4j2.configurationFile=myConfig instead –
Delphiadelphic While setting up log4j properly is great for "real" projects you might want a quick-and-dirty solution, e.g. if you're just testing a new library.
If so a call to the static method
org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure();
will setup basic logging to the console, and the error messages will be gone.
Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.INFO); –
Fudge If you just get rid of everything (e.g. if you are in tests)
org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure(new NullAppender());
As per Apache Log4j FAQ page:
Why do I see a warning about "No appenders found for logger" and "Please configure log4j properly"?
This occurs when the default configuration files
log4j.propertiesandlog4j.xmlcan not be found and the application performs no explicit configuration.log4jusesThread.getContextClassLoader().getResource()to locate the default configuration files and does not directly check the file system. Knowing the appropriate location to place log4j.properties orlog4j.xmlrequires understanding the search strategy of the class loader in use.log4jdoes not provide a default configuration since output to the console or to the file system may be prohibited in some environments.
Basically the warning No appenders could be found for logger means that you're using log4j logging system, but you haven't added any Appenders (such as FileAppender, ConsoleAppender, SocketAppender, SyslogAppender, etc.) into your configuration file or the configuration file is missing.
There are three ways to configure log4j: with a properties file (log4j.properties), with an XML file and through Java code (rootLogger.addAppender(new NullAppender());).
log4j.propertiesIf you've property file present (e.g. when installing Solr), you need to place this file within your classpath directory.
Here are some command suggestions in Linux how to determine your classpath value:
$ echo $CLASSPATH
$ ps wuax | grep -i classpath
$ grep -Ri classpath /etc/tomcat? /var/lib/tomcat?/conf /usr/share/tomcat?
or from Java: System.getProperty("java.class.path").
Below is a basic XML configuration file for log4j in XML format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<param name="Target" value="System.out"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<priority value ="debug" />
<appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
If you're using Tomcat, you may place your log4j.properties into: /usr/share/tomcat?/lib/ or /var/lib/tomcat?/webapps/*/WEB-INF/lib/ folder.
For the reference, Solr default log4j.properties file looks like:
# Logging level
solr.log=logs/
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, CONSOLE
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x \u2013 %m%n
#- size rotation with log cleanup.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=4MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=9
#- File to log to and log format
log4j.appender.file.File=${solr.log}/solr.log
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p - %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}; %C; %m\n
log4j.logger.org.apache.zookeeper=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop=WARN
# set to INFO to enable infostream log messages
log4j.logger.org.apache.solr.update.LoggingInfoStream=OFF
Why can't log4j find my properties file in a J2EE or WAR application?
The short answer: the log4j classes and the properties file are not within the scope of the same classloader.
Log4j only uses the default
Class.forName()mechanism for loading classes. Resources are handled similarly. See the documentation forjava.lang.ClassLoaderfor more details.So, if you're having problems, try loading the class or resource yourself. If you can't find it, neither will log4j. ;)
See also:
Find a log4j.properties or log4j.xml online that has a root appender, and put it on your classpath.
### direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout
will log to the console. I prefer logging to a file so you can investigate afterwards.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.maxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.file.maxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.file.File=test.log
log4j.appender.file.threshold=debug
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=debug,file
although for verbose logging applications 100KB usually needs to be increased to 1MB or 10MB, especially for debug.
Personally I set up multiple loggers, and set the root logger to warn or error level instead of debug.
You can set the location of your log4j.properties from inside your java app by using:
org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configure(file/location/log4j.properties)
More information is available here: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
import statement is always helpful as code completion is not all that reliable. –
Leto Another way to do it without putting the property file on the classpath, is to set the property from the java code directly. Here is the sample code.
public class Log4JSample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties properties=new Properties();
properties.setProperty("log4j.rootLogger","TRACE,stdout,MyFile");
properties.setProperty("log4j.rootCategory","TRACE");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.stdout", "org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.stdout.layout", "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern","%d{yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%5p] %t (%F) - %m%n");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile", "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile.File", "my_example.log");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile.MaxFileSize", "100KB");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile.MaxBackupIndex", "1");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile.layout", "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout");
properties.setProperty("log4j.appender.MyFile.layout.ConversionPattern","%d{yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%5p] %t (%F) - %m%n");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(properties);
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("MyFile");
logger.fatal("This is a FATAL message.");
logger.error("This is an ERROR message.");
logger.warn("This is a WARN message.");
logger.info("This is an INFO message.");
logger.debug("This is a DEBUG message.");
logger.trace("This is a TRACE message.");
}
}
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
Call this method
BasicConfigurator.configure();
System.out. The javadoc for the no-args configure method says: Add a ConsoleAppender that uses PatternLayout using the PatternLayout#TTCC_CONVERSION_PATTERN and prints to System.out to the root category. –
Invercargill You can set up the log level by using setLevel().
The levels are useful to easily set the kind of informations you want the program to display.
For example:
Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.WARN); //will not show debug messages
The set of possible levels are:
TRACE,
DEBUG,
INFO,
WARN,
ERROR and
FATAL
According to Logging Services manual
To enable -Dlog4j.debug, I go to System, Advanced system settings, Environment variables and set system variable _JAVA_OPTIONS to -Dlog4j.debug.
Simply, create log4j.properties under src/main/assembly folder. Depending on if you want log messages to be shown in the console or in the file you modify your file. The following is going to show your messages in the console.
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
What are you developing in? Are you using Apache Tomcat?
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.target=System.out
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [[%5p] %c{1} [%t]] %m%n
I have a properties like this in a Java app of mine.
I've created file log4j.properties in resources folder next to hibernate.cfg.xml file and filled it with text below:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, CONSOLE
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c{1}:%L] %m%n
now I got rid of warnings and errors
My log4j got fixed by below property file:
## direct log messages to stdout ###
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout
log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.maxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.file.maxBackupIndex=5
log4j.appender.file.File=./logs/test.log
log4j.appender.file.threshold=debug
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=debug,file
As explained earlier there are 2 approaches
First one is to just add this line to your main method:
BasicConfigurator.configure();
Second approach is to add this standard log4j.properties file to your classpath:
While taking second approach you need to make sure you initialize the file properly.
Eg.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream("log4j property file path"));
props.setProperty("log4j.appender.File.File", "Folder where you want to store log files/" + "File Name");
Make sure you create required folder to store log files.
Try to set debug attribut in log4j:configuration node to true.
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="true">
It prints out information as the configuration file is read and used to configure the log4j environment. You may be got more details to resolve your problem.
Logging API - The Java Logging API facilitates software servicing and maintenance at customer sites by producing log reports suitable for analysis by end users, system administrators, field service engineers, and software development teams. The Logging APIs capture information such as security failures, configuration errors, performance bottlenecks, and/or bugs in the application or platform. The core package includes support for delivering plain text or XML formatted log records to memory, output streams, consoles, files, and sockets. In addition, the logging APIs are capable of interacting with logging services that already exist on the host operating system.
Package java.util.logging « Provides the classes and interfaces of the Java platform's core logging facilities.
Log4j 1.x « log4j is a popular Java-based logging utility. Log4j is an open source project based on the work of many authors. It allows the developer to control which log statements are output to a variety of locations by using Appenders [console, files, DB and email]. It is fully configurable at runtime using external configuration files.
Log4j has three main components:
- Loggers - [OFF, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE]
Appenders
Apache Commons Logging: ConsoleAppender, FileAppender, RollingFileAppender, DailyRollingFileAppender, JDBCAppender-
Driver, SocketAppenderLog4J Appender for MongoDB: MongoDbAppender -
Driver- Layouts - [PatternLayout, EnhancedPatternLayout]
Configuration files can be written in XML or in Java properties (key=value) format.
- log4j_External.properties « Java properties (key=value) format
The string between an opening "${" and closing "}" is interpreted as a key. The value of the substituted variable can be defined as a system property or in the configuration file itself. Set appender specific options. « log4j.appender.appenderName.option=value, For each named appender you can configure its Layout.

- Log4j Configuration from the URL in Java program:
In order to specify a custom configuration with an external file, the used class must implement the Configurator interface.
when default configuration files "log4j.properties", "log4j.xml" are not available
- For "log4j.properties" you can fed to the PropertyConfigurator.configure(java.net.URL) method.
- For "log4j.xml" DOMConfigurator will be used.
public class LogFiles {
// Define a static logger variable so that it references the Logger instance named "LogFiles".
static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger( LogFiles.class );
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("CONFIGURATION_FILE « "+LogManager.DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION_FILE);
System.out.println("DEFAULT_XML_CONFIGURATION_FILE = 'log4j.xml' « Default access modifier");

//"log4j_External.xml";
"log4j_External.properties";
String configurationFile = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/src/" + fileName;
if( fileName.contains(".xml") ) {

For testing, a quick-dirty way including setting log level:
org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure();
org.apache.log4j.Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.WARN);
// set to Level.DEBUG for full, or Level.OFF..
The fix for me was to put "log4j.properties" into the "src" folder.
If we are using apache commons logging wrapper on top of log4j, then we need to have both the jars available in classpath. Also, commons-logging.properties and log4j.properties/xml should be available in classpath.
We can also pass implementation class and log4j.properties name as JAVA_OPTS either using -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=<logging implementation class name> -Dlog4j.configuration=<file:location of log4j.properties/xml file>. Same can be done via setting JAVA_OPTS in case of app/web server.
It will help to externalize properties which can be changed in deployment.
This is an alternative way using .yaml

Maven solution:
I came across all the same issues as above, and for a maven solution I used 2 dependencies. This configuration is only meant for quick testing if you want a simple project to be using a logger, with a standard configuration. I can imagine you want to make a configuration file later on if you need more information and or finetune your own logging levels.

I just did this and the issue was fixed.
Followed the below blog
But here he says like below
To fix that just enter the following log4j.resources file into main/resources folder of your project
instead of creating log4j.resources, create log4j.properties. Right Click on Resource in IntelliJ -> New -> Resource Bundle - Just name it as log4j
If you are having this error on Intellij IDEA even after adding the log4j.properties or log4j.xml file on your resources test folder, maybe the Intellij IDEA is not aware yet about the existence of the file.
So, after add the file, right click on the file and choose Recompile log4j.xml.
