[Progress Communities] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Forum Post: RE: Managing OE Logger framework's output

[Peter Judge]

The OE logger names follow the "named hierarchy" pattern of Log4j ( Log4j – Log4j 2 Architecture ) . So if you want all logging for the components OE provides, set up a logger named "OpenEdge" and you'll get all those messages. You can then decide where to send those logs (including the sink/gutter if you choose). Our convention is to ask for logs named for the type (eg "OpenEdge.Web.WebHandler") and since the OOABL classes we ship are all in the OpenEdge namespace, that will work. So the answer to Q1 is "yes". The answer to Q2 is sadly "no". The AVM/ABL does not give the ability to redirect those messages anywhere but the LOG-MANAGER:LOGFILE-NAME.
