how to inserts the log4j logs into cassandra

Question

I was trying to insert log4j logs from a Java application into Cassandra. I got the configuration for the log4j properties from http://www.datastax.com/docs/datastax_enterprise2.0/logging/log4j_logging .

I was not able to get the com.datastax.logging.appender.CassandraAppender . Can anybody let me know where to get the Cassandra appender, or is there a way we can integrate log4j and Cassandra?

Answer 1

The log4j appender is part of DataStax Enterprise; it's not included in Apache Cassandra by itself. If you're already using DataStax Enterprise, make sure that you've added path/to/dse/resources/log4j-appender/lib/ to the classpath for your application.
