Session-Specific Logging in QuickFIX/J Using SLF4J

[Priya-G1]

We are currently using the SLF4JLog class that comes inbuilt with QuickFIX/J for logging. Logs are being generated, but they are created with a common name.

Now, I need to perform rolling logs and generate them with a session ID–specific name instead of a common one. To achieve this, I am having to write custom code — overriding the existing SLF4JLog and SLF4JLogFactory classes, and using MDC to generate session-specific logs. Additionally, in Logback I also need to hardcode the log file path.

Can you please suggest me if there is any inbuilt functionality in QuickFIX/J that allows generating session-specific logs (with the session ID in the log name) without having to hardcode the log path?

I think you should implement your own quickfix.Log which programatically creates the desired appender (e.g. in log4j2).
