If you are a Java developer you mostly likely know Log4j, a text-only logging library provided by the Apache foundation. Now, we regularly get inquiries from log4j users who want to switch to SmartInspect, as they want to benefit from SmartInspect’s additional capabilities such as the Console (our log viewer), log server, advanced protocol options and so on.
Porting an existing application with thousands of log4j log statements isn’t easy if you have to replace each and every log call. To make it easier to switch to SmartInspect, we are now providing custom log4j appenders that can be used to forward all log messages to SmartInspect. Once you include and configure one of our appenders, you can benefit from SmartInspect’s infrastructure and, depending on which appender you use, also directly benefit from SmartInspect’s additional logging capabilities.
We hope this will make it a lot easier to port existing projects that make use of the classic log4j log framework to SmartInspect. Take a look at the full article here:
