How can I configure a separate log file for the runtime log?

Question

I would like to have two log files. One for he ivy system messages and one for the runtime log messages. How can I configure that?

Accepted Answer

Modify the file configuration/log4jconfig.xml as follows:

Add a new file appender for the runtime log:

   <appender name="RuntimeLog" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
    <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
    <param name="File" value="${user.dir}/logs/ivy.runtime.log"/>
    <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.IvyLog4jLayout">
      <param name="DateFormat" value="HH:mm:ss.SSS"/>
    </layout>
   </appender>

Then add a new category for the runtime log with the additivity attribute set to false and referencing the RuntimeLog appender:

  <category name="runtimelog" class="ch.ivyteam.log.Logger" additivity="false">
    <priority value="DEBUG"/>
    <appender-ref ref="RuntimeLog"/>
  </category>

Restart the engine.
