Example 3: Overriding a property from the logfilter.properties file

Example 3 shows how to override a property from the logfilter.properties file.

Procedure

  1. Check servers.properties to find the PROPERTY_FILE_NAME_PREFIX. In server.properties, the line for logfilter.properties says:

    logfilter=<INSTALL_DIR>/properties/logfilter.properties

    logfilter is the PROPERTY_FILE_NAME_PREFIX.

  2. The logfilter.properties file contains a property called default.layout.filterset. For an override entry, the PROPERTY_NAME value would be default.layout.filterset. So far, the entry for customer_overrides.properties would be: 
    
logfilter.default.layout.filterset
  3. The default value for default.layout.filterset is common-filter. To override this default, you would add the new value (in this example, sensitivefilter ) to the entry. The completed override entry for the example is shown below. 
    
logfilter.default.layout.filterset=sensitivefilter
