09/10/2007 Archived Entry: "Tuesday, September 25, 2007: Mike Schilli on log4perl"

Mike Schilli will speak on log4perl.

We'll again provide Little Star pizza. RSVP to help us get a head-count: Jeff.Thalhammer@barclaysglobal.com.

l4p has been my logging package of choice for several years now. It's nifty: everything is configuration file-driven, so you can decide which of your components' messages to see, where to send your logs (syslog, file, database...), and what info to include in each message (hostname, file and line, stacktrace...) And it has a couple of advanced features, "mapped diagnostic context" and "nested diagnostic context," that have come in quite handy. Come and check it out.

RSVP: Jeff.Thalhammer@barclaysglobal.com

Date: Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: Barclays Global Investors, 45 Fremont St., San Francisco (between Market and Fremont).

Security: When you arrive, please tell the security people the name with which you RSVP'd. They will direct you to the meeting room.

Parking: There are several outdoor lots with cheap evening rates, all of them south of Market and within a few blocks of 45 Fremont. Look on Harrison and Fremont first. After work hours, these lots usually have plenty of spaces.

From BART: Get off at the Embarcadero station. Take the Beale St. exit. Heading away from the water on Market, come to Fremont. Turn left on Fremont; 45 Fremont is the big building halfway down the block.

From Caltrain: (Don't take Caltrain if you can avoid it. Trains run back at 10:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. only!) From the station, take the N Judah to the Embarcadero station, then follow the directions from BART.
