Separate Logs of Different Origin/Plugins into Different Log Files
You may have already noticed that by default, we have log file named as email.log as Email Tool and related plugins are writing into this specific file. We may also consider this approach in breaking down the number of lines being written into a single log file for better troubleshooting.
Navigate to the "[JogetFolder]\apache-tomcat-8.5.23\webapps\jw\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties" configuration file and check out the use of R2 tag to see how EmailTool, UserNotificationAuditTrail, and ExportFormEmailTool are writing into email.log file.
log4j.logger.org.joget.apps.app.lib.EmailTool=DEBUG, R2
log4j.logger.org.joget.apps.app.lib.UserNotificationAuditTrail=DEBUG, R2
log4j.logger.org.joget.plugin.enterprise.ExportFormEmailTool=DEBUG, R2
