All Implemented Interfaces:

OptionHandler

public final class MulticolorLayout
extends PatternLayout

Multi-color layout for LOG4J.

Use it in your LOG4J configuration:

 log4j.rootLogger=INFO, CONSOLE
 log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
 log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=com.jcabi.log.MulticolorLayout
 log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.ConversionPattern=[%color{%-5p}] %c: %m%n

The part of the message wrapped with %color{...} will change its color according to the logging level of the event. Without this highlighting the behavior of the layout is identical to PatternLayout. You can use %color-red{...} if you want to use specifically red color for the wrapped piece of text. Supported colors are: red, blue, yellow, cyan, black, and white.

Besides that you can specify any ANSI color you like with %color-<attr>;<bg>;<fg>{...}, where <attr> is a binary mask of attributes, <bg> is a background color, and <fg> is a foreground color. Read more about ANSI escape code.

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.jcabi</groupId>
  <artifactId>jcabi-log</artifactId>
 </dependency>
