I am running a minecraft server and some addons keep spamming the console (and hence making it useless) with the following:
com.mojang.brigadier.exceptions.CommandSyntaxException
I want to get rid of this! I need the correct log4j tag when running the jar and also the correct external log4j configuration file (xml only).
What I have tried:
I add the following parameters into executing the jar so it reads:
java -Dlog4j.debug -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///home/container/console.xml -Xms128M -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=95.0 -jar server.jar
Key here is:
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///home/container/console.xml
I then put the following console.xml
file into /home/container/
where it sits next to the server.jar
file.
In the console.xml
file, I made from: How to filter a specific exception from Log4j? the following configuration:
<Appenders>
<Console name="console" target="System.out">
<RegexFilter regex=".*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-2p %c{1.} %x - %m%n"/>
</Console>
<File name="logfile" filename="./app.log" append="true">
<RegexFilter regex=".*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p %c{-1} %X{userName} - %m%n"/>
</File>
</Appenders>
This however did nothing! And the Log4j debug did not help.
Lets try to explicitly filter out the CommandSyntaxException messages.
Also lets change onMismatch="NEUTRAL" to onMismatch="ACCEPT"
e.g. below
<Appenders>
<Console name="console" target="System.out">
<RegexFilter regex=".*com\.mojang\.brigadier\.exceptions\.CommandSyntaxException.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT"/>
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-2p %c{1.} %x - %m%n"/>
</Console>
<File name="logfile" filename="./app.log" append="true">
<RegexFilter regex=".*com\.mojang\.brigadier\.exceptions\.CommandSyntaxException.*" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="ACCEPT"/>
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p %c{-1} %X{userName} - %m%n"/>
</File>
</Appenders>
And then execute
java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///home/container/console.xml -Xms128M -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=95.0 -jar server.jar
