<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>we are planning to build alerting functionality around the
SLF4J API and we thought about leveraging the Marker API for this. The reason
why we need Markers is simple, more information have to be provided to perform
the required LoggingEvent => AlertEvent conversion. What I have in my mind
is the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Create an Alert marker which implements the marker interface
+ have additional getters/setters to provide the required properties to the
alerting appender. The usage would look like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Logger.error(new Alert(…),”The aircondition is
down”)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However this does not seems to be the recommended way for
using Markers where you would consult with the MarkerFactory for the
appropriate Marker instance(MarkerFactory.getMarker(“ALERT”)).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What’s your thought on using Marker’s in this
way? If you see any problem with it what would you recommend to provide extra
contextual data to the log message(MDC is not appropriate here given the amount
of code one might have to write to populate the Map)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your help in advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Kind Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
