The Diffusion server uses the JAR file located at lib/slf4j-binding.jar as its logging framework. When you first install your Diffusion server, the log4j2 logging framework is used.

Use log4j2

The log4j-slf4j-impl-version.jar file controls the log4j2 logging. This file is included in the Diffusion installation in the lib/thirdparty directory.

To use log4j2 instead of the legacy Diffusion logging implementation, copy lib/thirdparty/log4j-slf4j-impl-version.jar to lib/slf4j-binding.jar.

Configure the log4j2 logging framework with the log4j2.xml configuration file.

Use the legacy logging framework

To use the legacy Diffusion logging framework, copy lib/diffusion-slf4j.jar to lib/slf4j-binding.jar.

Configure the legacy logging framework with the Logs.xml configuration file.

Use another SLF4J implementation

To use an alternative SLF4J implementation, remove the lib/slf4j-binding.jar and add the appropriate classes for the alternative implementation to the Diffusion server classpath.
