Filtering log entries

[spruc]

Does this extension support filtering log entries based on some criteria such that I can forward only a subset of my logs to Splunk? What I'm trying to do is log some entries to stdout and some to Splunk without having to build a Splunk client myself.

Hello

No, and I think it would be useless, you could use a custom logging filter attached to this handler.

Having said that we don't test the specific behaviour, but on the paper it should work since it's part of the framework

Probably we'd need a quarkus.log.handler.splunk.filter ?

For filtering by log category, there's a link to #156 (i.e. be able to associate splunk handler to only specific loggers) though I'm not clear if you could also restrict log categories on the default log handler.

Using purely configuration today, there's only the log level (quarkus.log.handler.splunk.level) to restrict which logs events go to splunk.

As @rquinio1A pointed out this requires the filter property to exist on the handler, so I don't think there currently is a way to do attach the filter to the handler.

There's a setFilter on the ExtHandler the base class of the SplunkHandler

In my opinion, quarkus dev did not reinvent the wheel at took advantage of the existing infrastructure , the best is to test

I have no idea what you're trying to say there.

As for your screenshot, I don't see how that's useful to me. The SplunkLogHandler is not a CDI bean so I can't get a reference to it.

Consider this a request to add the filter property such that I can attach a filter to the handler—if you're not interested in implementing it, I'll gladly look for other ways to get this done.

Hey, I am just trying to help here, no need to be rude or impatient. You can ask for precision if you don't understand, I would happy to clarify my thoughts here.

Anyway, for reference, I've been put on the wrong track because of the name of quarkusio/quarkus#27864.
It's possible to set a filter on the file, console, syslog built-in handlers only.

Yes in a smart way because LogSetupRecorder will erase it with an instance of LogCleanupFilter, we would need to override setFilter() and compose the filters.
But it's a hacky way, that would be up to the LogSetupRecorder to take care of that.

I'll gladly look for other ways to get this done.

Good luck
