On a recent PC, an application doing nothing but logging, can log around 100'000 messages per second. The sequence number of such an application will reach 2^31 after about two hours of continuous logging (or approx. 200 GB of logs).<br>

As David mentioned atomic long is probably a better alternative.<br>
<br>
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.<u></u>AtomicLong;<br>
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.<u></u>ILoggingEvent;<br>
import ch.qos.logback.classic.<u></u>pattern.ClassicConverter<br>
<br>
public class LocalSequenceNumberConverter extends ClassicConverter {<br>
<br>
AtomicLong sequenceNumber = new AtomicLong(0);<div><br>
<br>
@Override<br>
public String convert(ILoggingEvent event) {<br></div>
return Long.toString(sequenceNumber.<u></u>getAndIncrement());<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
A volatile long is not guaranteed to work properly because incrementing a long is not atomic whereas incrementing a int is.<div><br>

Or use AtomicLong.<br>

In your custom converter, declare a sequenceNumber as follows:<br>
<br>
*volatile* int sequenceNumber = 0;<br>
<br>
increment sequenceNumber for each new event:<br>
<br>
sequenceNumber++;<br>
<br>
That's it.<br>

Hi everyone:<br>
<br>
I'm writing to all of you because I want to display a sequence number<br>
for each event. I've done some research regarding this and I know for<br>
sure that LogBack is not able to natively handle this as Log4j2 does<br>
with %sn, or as JUL partially does with getSequenceNumber() (I won't be<br>
changing LogBack because of this, anyway).<br>
<br>
I know for sure LogBack is lacking this functionality because of this<br>
issue on JIRA:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-546" target="_blank">http://jira.qos.ch/browse/<u></u>LOGBACK-546</a><br>
<br>
That issue is a four years old boy now.<br>
<br>
I found a link on Stack Overflow<br>
(<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11162951/line-numbers-with-logback" target="_blank">http://stackoverflow.com/<u></u>questions/11162951/line-<u></u>numbers-with-logback</a>)<br>
which lead me to the following link:<br>

I tried a static number but it was sred across threads so it didn't<div><br>
work that well. I also thought of ThreadLocal but I read a story which<br>
freaked me out:<br>

<br>
Does anyone know of a good way to achieve sequentials?<br>
<br>
Best regards and thanks in advance.<br>
