Hi!

I want to send wowza access log to a remote server.

Somebody know how can I config log4j or other tool for send logs via udp to a remote server? In this case, can give me an example of config?

Regards and thanks in advance.

You can use all standard log4j appenders and also non-standard ones if you add them to your classpath (defaut: \<WOWZA\_DIR\>/lib).

The one you are looking for can be “org.apache.log4j.net.UDPAppender” configured like this (in conf/log4j.properties)

log4j.appender.A3=org.apache.log4j.net.UDPAppenderlog4j.appender.A3.remoteHost=192.168.15.255log4j.appender.A3.port=8881log4j.appender.A3.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayoutlog4j.appender.A3.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d{ISO8601} [%t] - %m%n

First, thanks for your reply.

You mean that I can use apache appender for send the wowza access log to a remote server, right?

Regards!
