zengshengliu opened a new pull request, #3744:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/3744
Correct logger precision example.
The current example is incorrect.
`%c{1.2.*}` does not return `o.a.commons.test.Foo` due to the extra period
before `*`, instead, it will use `1.2` as the pattern and shows
`o.ap.commons.Foo`
To get the output `o.a.commons.test.Foo`, the formatter needs to be
`%c{1.3*}` where the `3*` indicates number of right most token to be printed in
full. (bullet point 2 in the
[doc](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/pattern-layout.html#converter-logger))
|Pattern|Logger name|Output|Explanation
:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:
`%c{1.1*}`|`org.apache.commons.Foo`|`o.a.c.Foo`|abbreviate using 1
character, show last item in full
`%c{1.1.*}`|`org.apache.commons.Foo`|`o.a.commons.Foo`|first two items
abbreviate with 1 character, rest in full
`%c{1.2*}`|`org.apache.commons.Foo`|`o.a.commons.Foo`|abbreviate using 1
character, show last two items in full
`%c{1.2.*}`|`org.apache.commons.Foo`|`o.ap.commons.Foo`|first item with 1
character, second with 2 character, rest is full
I do have a question/issue? where that logic only works if the number before
the first period is 1, so
`%c{1.1*}` >> `o.a.c.Foo`
`%c{1.2*}` >> `o.a.commons.Foo`
`%c{1.3*}` >> `o.apache.commons.Foo`
works, but
`%c{2.1*}` >> `or.a*.c*.Foo`
`%c{2.2*}` >> `or.ap*.co*.Foo`
`%c{2.3*}` >> `or.apa*.com*.Foo`
does not work as expected.
