[slf4j-user] Marker for object identification?

[Newcomb, Michael-P57487]

public class Foo
  implements Runnable
{
  protected final String name;

  protected final Marker marker;
  protected final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

  public Foo(String name)
  {
    this.name = name;

    marker = MarkerFactory.getMarker(name);
  }

  public void run()
  {
    while (true)
    {
      ...

      log.debug(marker, "some stuff");

      ...
    }
  }
}

new Thread(new Foo("A")).start();
new Thread(new Foo("B")).start(); 


So you could see the logs for each Foo ('A' and 'B')...

Also, can Markers be created on the fly by using MarkerFactory.getMarker()? Or does that Marker have to exist in a config file somewhere... (e.g. what does LogBack do?)

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I don't fully understand your question. However, you can use a marker to color a log request so that it triggers some particular treatment. Does this help?
