Hello Tomasz,

I saw your blog entry about logback-feed. I'll be sure to experiment with it asap. However, reading your comment dated "February 8, 2010 3:51 PM" to your own blog entry, it seems to me that you could create different feeds in at least 3 ways:

1A) change the feed source by writing to and reading from different database schemas. DBAppender allows you to set the connection source, enabling you to connect to a different schema per DBAppender.

I have to admit that while possible creating a different schema to serve as a distinct feed source can be cumbersome (but possible).

1B) As I understand it, you would like to write to the same table with distinct DBAppenders writing to different columns of the same table. Logback-feeder would then read from different columns to create different feeds.

If you have 3 different feeds you would have 3 times more columns in the event table which sound pretty messy to me.

2) Let the user create different feeds by creating new logback-feed filtering rules, with logback-feed always reading read the same source (database table).  To be honest, this second approach seems so much cleaner than 1A or 1B, unless of course I misunderstood you.

Being able to override column or table names to comply with local convention is a different  matter.

>          Components: appender
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.18

> ch.qos.logback.classic.db.DBAppender uses hard-coded table names for logging events: logging_event, logging_event_property and logging_event_exception. Allowing to change these default names has two benefits:
> * There are systems where database table names must follow some naming conventions (prefixes, using underscores vs. camel case)
> * One could create several Db appenders, each operating on different set of tables (for performance reasons or more fine grained logging and filtering)
> Each table name would be configured using a property in logback.xml. Default values for table names would be the same as present ones to maintain backward compatibility. If you are interested in this feature let me know, I can implement it and provide a patch.
