[12:34:25 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> that too
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> That's a good suggestion. I was thinking the properties to put in local.properties are
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> portal.logging.rootLevel=WARN
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> # Directory to place portal and portlet log files into.
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] Wiki Markup <jwennmacher> portal.logging.logfileDirectory=${catalina.base}/logs
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> # Assume a DailyRollingFileAppender is used. Set the pattern to daily log-file roll-overs.
[12:42:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> # Can also set to hourly, weekly, etc.
[12:42:30 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> # See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/index.html
[12:42:30 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> portal.logging.rollingLogFileDatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
[12:42:31 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> # Pattern to specify format of each log file entry. See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/DailyRollingFileAppender.html
[12:42:31 CDT(-0500)] Wiki Markup <jwennmacher> portal.logging.layoutConversionPattern=%5p \[%t\] %c{2}.\[%x\] %d{ISO8601} - %m%n
[12:42:32 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Any thoughts on other properties to consider (or elimination of some I have)? Log files seem to use the DailyRollingFileAppender. I don't see a reason to make the appender class file configurable; too many supplemental properties.
[12:43:37 CDT(-0500)] <athena> those seem reasonable to me
[12:43:38 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> That didn't look good. I learned IRC doesn't handle messages with line terminators in them as a single message 
[12:44:08 CDT(-0500)] <athena> we frequently use paste tools like pastebin or github, especially for long stack traces
[12:44:19 CDT(-0500)] <athena> but it came through ok
[12:44:23 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> Github has a pastebin?
[12:44:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> well, gists
[12:44:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> https://gist.github.com/
[12:45:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> jwennmacher: i think what you have is a great start and you should go ahead and submit a pull request when you're ready
[12:45:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> it's a good start, and we can always tweak it or add more later
[12:56:14 CDT(-0500)] <Daskreech> And they are git repos. That's interesting
[12:56:46 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah
[12:56:51 CDT(-0500)] <athena> interesting way to share code
