Description

The default log pattern used in Karaf for the out file (karaf.log) is:

%d

{ABSOLUTE}

| %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c

{1} | %-32.32C %4L | %X{bundle.id} - %X{bundle.name} - %X{bundle.version} | %m%n

It means that a log line looks like:

16:36:51,285 | INFO | Thread-6 | FeaturesServiceImpl

As Karaf is a container, and is up for a "long" time, it makes sense to add the date in the log. The log line will looks like:

2011-07-27 16:49:16,557 | INFO | Thread-4 | FeaturesServiceImpl |

I propose to use the following pattern (at least in the karaf.log file):

%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} | %-5.5p | %-16.16t | %-32.32c{1}

| %-32.32C %4L | %X

{bundle.id}

- %X

{bundle.name}

- %X

{bundle.version}

| %m%n
