Configuring a Logging Profile in JBoss EAP
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform allows us to do more than simply deploy applications — we can also manage and maintain them during their lifecycle. Part of this is the ability to log what we need when we need it, which is where JBoss EAP logging profiles come in. Logging profiles allow us to write customized logging rules that we then attach to our applications as desired.

Create the File Handler
- Create the file handler:
/subsystem=logging/logging-profile=appdebug/file-handler=appdebug-handler:add(file={path=>"debug.log", "relative-to"=>"jboss.server.log.dir"})
- Set the log level for the handler:
/subsystem=logging/logging-profile=appdebug/file-handler=appdebug-handler:write-attribute(name="level", value="TRACE")
-
Challenge
Create a Logger Category
- Add the logger category:
/subsystem=logging/logging-profile=appdebug/logger=app.debug:add(level=DEBUG)
- Assign the handler to the category:
/subsystem=logging/logging-profile=appdebug/logger=org.hibernate:add-handler(name="appdebug-handler")
