Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Vivek Sachdeva <>]

when I implemented grouper at UCLA, I set grouper.home as an environment variable.

I've made some progress: each component appears to be logging successfully.
The log4j.properties config file for each component had to be placed in the
following directories:

grouper-api/conf/log4j.properties
grouper-ui/log4j.properties
grouper-ws/grouper-ws/log4j.properties

It still isn't clear to me how/where grouper.home is defined for each
component, so logfiles have been set with absolute paths.

Each component's log4j.properties file was based off of the provided
sample grouper-api/conf/log4j.example.properties where each of

log4j.appender.grouper_event.File
log4j.appender.grouper_error.File
log4j.appender.grouper_debug.File

was set to go to a logfile dedicated for that component. E.g.:

logs/grouper-api.log
logs/grouper-ui_event.log
logs/grouper-ws.log

However, everything logged (api, ui, ws) is going to grouper-api.log.

How do I differentiate the output for each component? It's not clear
from looking at the subset in grouper-ui/log4j.template.properties
what the relevant properties are. I must be missing something though.
