What do you like best about Apache log4j?

Easy of use made it possible to implement it quickly in different parts of our software to find problems and pinpoint different performance-related problems.

The different levels of logging that you can achieve to get the right information about a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache log4j?

The documentations is cryptic, and although the basics is quite easy to get it going, to master it can take some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache log4j:

You should plan ahead the classes where you will implement log4j.

It is not very useful for jsp files.

However, for java classes, it is invaluable as a diagnostic tool.

We have used it with several servlet engines: tomcat (usually), jboss/wildfly and (in the very old times) sun and weblogic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache log4j solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most important problem that we solved with Apache Log4J was to provide better support to our customers when problems were reported. Without a need to recompile, log4j lets you change the behavior of the application to show debug information.

It helped us track the usage of different parts of the application and generate statistics about how the users browsed within the webapp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache log4j?

The ease to classify the logs in wanr, info, error, and many other types. This also helped in capturing logs of various other dependent tools. The enabling feature, formatting of the logs, class parameter makes it very easy to use and confirm where the code passed from which class its in and what is the log signifying. The logs level change can enable to display debug and other logs as well which makes it great to use when requirement to monitor all logs. The color scheme also gets displayed in the unix vim tool making it to clearly understand if its an issue or not to be looked and worked upon. On top of these many tools and other readers are there which classify the logs, the kibana tool helps analyzing and displaying the logs of any format into required format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache log4j?

The dependency version keeps changing for each api and compatibility sometimes cause issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache log4j:

Its very easy to use, has no overheads and creates no latency or overhead on the server or memory. It can be custom changed even while the application is running and all are controlled by very simple properties parameter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache log4j solving and how is that benefiting you?

All kind of info, debug, error, warning can be separately displayed and which log to be displayed in which environment is highly controlled. This makes the application usage flow and time stamps to be viewed analyzed and used for business and technical issue fixes and decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
