[logback-user] Filtering "unknown" mdc discriminator events

[Fred Toth]

Hi,

This has been written about before in this list, and I thought it would 
be easy, but I'm getting nowhere. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing 
wrong? I can confirm that my filter code is running (I see the print 
statements) but no matter what I return, I still end up with a log like 
"unknown/batchqc-<timestamp>" containing plenty of log data.

I would like to eliminate these logs completely, and write logs using 
this sifter only when articlePath is set.

The status listener is reporting:

12:03:35,652 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter at 25:37 
- no applicable action for [OnMismatch], current pattern is 
[[configuration][appender][filter][evaluator][OnMismatch]]
12:03:35,652 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter at 26:34 
- no applicable action for [OnMatch], current pattern is 
[[configuration][appender][filter][evaluator][OnMatch]]

What am I missing?

Config:

<configuration>

     <statusListener 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener"/>

     <timestamp key="bySecond" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss" />

System.out.println("MDC: " + mdc + " " + mdc.get("articlePath"));
if (mdc == null
     || mdc.get("articlePath") == null
     || ((String)mdc.get("articlePath")).contains("unknown"))
         return false;
return true;
                         </expression>
                         <OnMismatch>NEUTRAL</OnMismatch>

         </encoder>
     </appender>

     <root level="info">
         <appender-ref ref="TSFILE" />
         <appender-ref ref="ARTICLESIFT" />
