Implement Common Logging in Talend

Question

I am trying to implement a common logging component which is pluggable to any job for catching logs.

With this use case in mind, I have created two jobs where I am segregating the logs into two files (debug & error).

The first job contains a tRowGenerator component which will generate lines and then forward them to the tMap component. From tMap, I have linked two tWarn components that will generate warnings based on some conditions.  

My second job contains tLogCatcher and tFilterRow components which will help in segregating the input files based on the provided conditions.

I am trying to execute both the jobs in parallel to catch the logs, but it seems like it is not the way it should be done.

Please give me any idea how to perform this?

Well, you can try using following 2 ways:

1.  Creating Joblet: If you want to stick to your current job, then I think you can try creating a Joblet. But, it's not a good practice to use the same file from multiple jobs as it may lead to errors. This will only work perfectly with a job that produces multiple files.

2.  Using log4j in enterprise version: the enterprise version of Talend studio has built-in log4j. With this, you can set the debugging level inside your tWarn or tDie components itself. Then you can configure the tlog4j to transfer the logs into specified files.

Hope these help.
