Upgrade Log Context
Liferay DXP 7.4 U72 / Liferay Portal 7.4 GA72
Enable the upgrade log context to display identifiers for upgrade related processes in your console logs. The possible identifiers are:
{upgrade.component=portal}: for upgrade processes related to portal{upgrade.component=framework}: for processes related to the upgrade framework logic{upgrade.component=<bundleSymbolicName>}: for upgrade processes related to modules
The logs can be enabled through the upgrade tool or at startup with a portal property.
If using the upgrade tool, set upgrade.log.context.enabled=true in your /tools/portal-tools-db-upgrade-client/portal-upgrade-ext.properties file.
If enabling upgrade at startup, set upgrade.log.context.enabled=true in your {Liferay-Home}/portal-ext.properties file.
Next, copy the portal-impl/src/META-INF/portal-log4j.xml file into bundles/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF and rename the file to portal-log4j-ext.xml. Then find the appender definition:
<Appender name="CONSOLE" type="Console">
<Layout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%t][%c{1}:%L] %m%n" type="PatternLayout" />
</Appender>
Change the definition to include %X, which tells Log4j to print the thread context information:
<Appender name="CONSOLE" type="Console">
<Layout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%t][%c{1}:%L] %m %X%n" type="PatternLayout" />
</Appender>
Here are some example log lines that include the upgrade identifiers:
