Threshold parameter not being honored.

[devinjparsons]

I see in the log4j.xml example you can set the threshold, I added this parameter to my log4j.properties file but it doesn't seem to be honoring that. Is this parameter supported?

Hi,

I've quickly tested the Threshold parameter and it works fine for me.

Here's the test-case:

log4j.properties file:

# A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.A1.threshold=INFO

# Define the graylog2 destination
log4j.appender.graylog2=org.graylog2.log.GelfAppender
log4j.appender.graylog2.amqpURI=amqp://10.0.0.1
log4j.appender.graylog2.amqpExchangeName=messages
log4j.appender.graylog2.amqpRoutingKey=gelfudp
log4j.appender.graylog2.amqpMaxRetries=5
log4j.appender.graylog2.facility=test-application
log4j.appender.graylog2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.graylog2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%t] [%c{1}] - %m%n
log4j.appender.graylog2.additionalFields={'environment': 'DEV', 'application': 'MyAPP'}
log4j.appender.graylog2.extractStacktrace=true
log4j.appender.graylog2.addExtendedInformation=true
log4j.appender.graylog2.threshold=ERROR

# Send all INFO logs to graylog2
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, graylog2, A1

My assumptions are:

1. Console appender will display messages INFO and above
2. Graylog2 appender will do the same but from ERROR

Java code to test it:

public class TestLog4j {

        static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(TestLog4j.class);

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties");

            logger.info("> test info");
            logger.debug("> test debug");
            logger.error("> test error");
            logger.error("> test error");
            logger.error("> test error");
            logger.error("> test error");
            logger.error("> test error");
            logger.error("> test error");
        }
}

After running the scenario above I see following picture in Graylog2:

and in the console:

0    [main] INFO  com.test.TestLog4j  - > test info
1    [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error
573  [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error
574  [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error
576  [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error
577  [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error
578  [main] ERROR com.test.TestLog4j  - > test error

As per my expectations.

Did I miss something?

Thanks, Anton

Thanks for the reply, it looks like i was too quick to think it wasn't working. My installation is working as expected, I found a rogue application that didn't get the threshold update.

Thanks again for your help.
