VilleBez / aws-sns-log4j-appender

An asynchronous appender for log4j that writes to Amazon SNS. Get fatal errors as a text message!

Introduction

There are some errors that are just too important to miss. Amazon SNS is a very easy-to-use PubSub service that can send you e-mails or texts (or be added to an SQS queue so you can do your own processing on it). This log4j appender lets you easily set a threshold past which logged errors will be sent to an SNS topic.

Usage

log4j.xml or log4j.properties

    <!-- SNS events -->
	<appender name="SNS" class="org.log.SNSAppender">
		<param name="Threshold" value="ERROR" />
		<param name="ProxyHost" value="" /> <!-- option -->
		<param name="ProxyPort" value="" />                 <!-- option -->
		<param name="Region" value="us-west-2" />               <!-- option -->
		<param name="Subject" value="[Example] Test" />         <!-- option -->
	    <param name="TopicName" value="example" />
		<layout class="org.log.StackTraceLayout"/>
	</appender>
