Hello,

after looking searching the forum i came to the conclusion that logging directly to database through log4j is not recommended.

Wouldn’t it be better if we just created a simple Java module and log everything to a db with the ondisconnect() function ?(or something similar)

or send them to a queue (like rabbitmq or Amazon SQS) to be processed by an other task ?
