Class UsageLog

java.lang.Object

thredds.servlet.UsageLog

public class UsageLog
extends Object

Utility class for gathering context information for use in log messages. Includes methods appropriate when the context thread is an individual HTTP request and when the context thread is an initialization thread. The context information is contained in a key/value map.

Uses the SLF4J MDC framework (see @link{org.slf4j.MDC} for more details).

If properly configured, each log entry within the context thread will include the gathered context information. For instance, in log4j and slf4j, the appender pattern would contain strings with the form "%X{<contextKey>}", where "<contextKey>" is a context key value. The context key strings are given in each setup method below.
