Unable to manage GCViewer log4j logs

[shay1bz]

I use GCViewer as a library on a service that monitor and analyzes Spark applications GCs.
However the service application logs are filled with INFO logs by GCViewer, which I would like to set to ERROR.

GCViewer/src/main/java/com/tagtraum/perf/gcviewer/model/GcResourceFile.java

Line 26 in e8e26e9

super(resourceName, Logger.getLogger("GCResourceFile".concat(Integer.toString(COUNT.incrementAndGet()))));

This ^ makes it impossible, unfortunately. Is there a reason for naming loggers like that? Wouldn't it make more sense to at least use some package name?

Just to be sure: GCViewer does not use log4j, but the  built in java logging framework. The line in question supports the multi threaded log files loading case. Each file / thread must have its own logger, so that the gui can attach to that logger and show its output. Since this is an *open source* library, you may fiddle with the code at your leisure. If you find something suitable, that does not break the current code, you may open a pull request. Best regards, Jörg
