This tutorial demonstrates configuring Log4j to send email alerts for application exceptions, eliminating the need to manually sift through logs. It explains the core Log4j components: Logger (for logging messages at different priority levels), Appender (for sending logs to various destinations), and Layout (for formatting log messages). The tutorial walks through creating a Java Maven project in Eclipse, adding Log4j dependencies, and configuring log4j.xml
to use an SMTPAppender to send email notifications upon encountering exceptions. A sample Java program is provided to illustrate the process.
