30 Sends {@link log4cxx::spi::LoggingEvent LoggingEvent} objects to a remote a log server,
31 usually Apache Chainsaw.
32
33 <p>The SocketAppender has the following properties:
34
35 - If sent to Apache Chainsaw, remote logging
36 is non-intrusive as far as the log event is concerned. In other
37 words, the event will be logged with the same time stamp, {@link
38 NDC NDC}, location info as if it were logged locally by
39 the client.
40
41 - SocketAppenders do not use a layout. They ship a
42 serialized {@link log4cxx::spi::LoggingEvent LoggingEvent} object
43 to the server side.
44
45 - Remote logging uses the TCP protocol. Consequently, if
46 the server is reachable, then log events will eventually arrive
47 at the server.
48
49 - If the remote server is down, the logging requests are
50 simply dropped. However, if and when the server comes back up,
51 then event transmission is resumed transparently. This
52 transparent reconneciton is performed by a <em>connector</em>
53 thread which periodically attempts to connect to the server.
54
55 - Logging events are automatically <em>buffered</em> by the
56 native TCP implementation. This means that if the link to server
57 is slow but still faster than the rate of (log) event production
58 by the client, the client will not be affected by the slow
59 network connection. However, if the network connection is slower
60 then the rate of event production, then the client can only
61 progress at the network rate. In particular, if the network link
62 to the the server is down, the client will be blocked.
63 @n @n On the other hand, if the network link is up, but the server
64 is down, the client will not be blocked when making log requests
65 but the log events will be lost due to server unavailability.
66
67 - Even if a <code>SocketAppender</code> is no longer
68 attached to any logger, it will not be destroyed in
69 the presence of a connector thread. A connector thread exists
70 only if the connection to the server is down. To avoid this
71 destruction problem, you should #close the the
72 <code>SocketAppender</code> explicitly. See also next item.
73 @n @n Long lived applications which create/destroy many
74 <code>SocketAppender</code> instances should be aware of this
75 destruction problem. Most other applications can safely
76 ignore it.
77
78 - If the application hosting the <code>SocketAppender</code>
79 exits before the <code>SocketAppender</code> is closed either
80 explicitly or subsequent to destruction, then there might
81 be untransmitted data in the pipe which might be lost.
82 @n @n To avoid lost data, it is usually sufficient to
83 #close the <code>SocketAppender</code> either explicitly or by
84 calling the LogManager#shutdown method
85 before exiting the application.
