I've configured an SMTPAppender in my JBoss server.
<appender name="SMTP" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
<errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR"/>
<param name="To" value="[email protected]"/>
<param name="From" value="[email protected]"/>
<param name="Subject" value="PQDSN Sever Error on WNETVMAP47"/>
<param name="SMTPHost" value="smtpout.muhc.mcgill.ca"/>
<param name="BufferSize" value="512"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d{ABSOLUTE},%c{1}] %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
It works, I get emails every time an error is logged in JBoss's server.log file. The problem is that I get an email for every single error that is logged, even if the error was a JBoss error, has nothing to do with my application. Is there a way to select or filter what errors are emailed? Also can I email only errors that are logged to my application's log file?
