If the output returned contains "Initialized AgentCommunicatorApp", then continue with the steps below to resolve.

This also shows up in the uptime.log file like so:
No Format
2014-03-06 10:37:29,250 INFO [] - Initialized AgentCommunicatorApp
2014-03-06 10:37:29,250 INFO [] - Database connection was not explicitly initialized; performing check...

 

Linux Monitoring Station:

1. Edit the agentcmd.jcnf file in the scripts directory of the monitoring station:
In the following section:

 

No Format
[jvm.additional.args]

...


-d64

 

Add:

 

No Format
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///usr/local/uptime/log4j.properties

 

So should now see:

 

No Format
[jvm.additional.args]

...


-d64

...


-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///usr/local/uptime/log4j.properties

 

 
 
2. Create a log4j.properties file in the uptime directory and populate it with the following lines.

 

No Format
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, THIRDPARTY

...


#console logger

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE.MaxFileSize=10MB

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE.MaxBackupIndex=0

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE.File=logs/uptime_scripts.log

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

...


log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d | %p | %X{context} | %t | %c | %m%n

...


#third party code logger - thirdparty.log

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.MaxFileSize=10MB

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.MaxBackupIndex=0

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.File=logs/thirdparty.log

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

...


log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.layout.ConversionPattern=%d | %p | %X{context} | %t | %c | %m%n

 

3. Now you should be able to run the agentcmd and see only the expected output.  The new extra logging lines from agentcmd are now redirected to logs/uptime_scripts.log which will rollover whenever it reaches 10mb, so it will never exceed 10mb.

Windows Monitoring Station:

1. Create a agentcmd.l4j.ini file in the scripts directory of the up.time Monitoring Station with the following contents.

 

No Format
# Launch4j runtime config

...


 -Dlog4j.configuration="file:/D:/Program Files/uptime software/uptime/log4j.properties"

...



 ## -Dlog4j.debug=true

 

 
2. Create a log4j.properties file in the uptime directory and populate it with the following lines.

 

No Format
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, THIRDPARTY

#console logger

log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.CONSOLE.MaxFileSize=10MB

log4j.appender.CONSOLE.MaxBackupIndex=0

log4j.appender.CONSOLE.File=logs/uptime_scripts.log

log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d | %p | %X{context} | %t | %c | %m%n

#third party code logger - thirdparty.log

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.MaxFileSize=10MB

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.MaxBackupIndex=0

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.File=logs/thirdparty.log

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.THIRDPARTY.layout.ConversionPattern=%d | %p | %X{context} | %t | %c | %m%n

 

3. Wherever the agentcmd command is being called from (ie. your custom monitor script), update the agentcmd line to include the --l4j-debug option.  For example, if the line looked like this:

 

No Format
$NETCAT -p $port $hostname rexec $password $customscript

 

Then you will want to change it to look like this:

 

No Format
$NETCAT --l4j-debug -p $port $hostname rexec $password $customscript
