package java.lang.management;

The management interface for the logging facility.

There is a single global instance of the PlatformLoggingMXBean. The ManagementFactory.getPlatformMXBean method can be used to obtain the PlatformLoggingMXBean object as follows:

    PlatformLoggingMXBean logging = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMXBean(PlatformLoggingMXBean.class);
The PlatformLoggingMXBean object is also registered with the platform MBeanServer. The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the PlatformLoggingMXBean within an MBeanServer is:
 java.util.logging:type=Logging 
Since: 1.7

public interface PlatformLoggingMXBean extends PlatformManagedObject {
Returns the list of the currently registered logger names. This method calls getLoggerNames.getLoggerNames and returns a list of the logger names.
Returns:A list of String each of which is a currently registered Logger name.
/** * Returns the list of the currently registered * {@linkplain java.util.logging.Logger logger} names. This method * calls {@link java.util.logging.LogManager#getLoggerNames} and * returns a list of the logger names. * * @return A list of {@code String} each of which is a * currently registered {@code Logger} name. */
java.util.List<String> getLoggerNames();
Gets the name of the log level associated with the specified logger. If the specified logger does not exist, null is returned. This method first finds the logger of the given name and then returns the name of the log level by calling:
Logger.getLevel().getName();

If the Level of the specified logger is null, which means that this logger's effective level is inherited from its parent, an empty string will be returned.

Params:
  • loggerName – The name of the Logger to be retrieved.
See Also:
  • getLevel.getLevel
Returns:The name of the log level of the specified logger; or an empty string if the log level of the specified logger is null. If the specified logger does not exist, null is returned.

String getLoggerLevel(String loggerName);
Sets the specified logger to the specified new level. If the levelName is not null, the level of the specified logger is set to the parsed Level matching the levelName. If the levelName is null, the level of the specified logger is set to null and the effective level of the logger is inherited from its nearest ancestor with a specific (non-null) level value.
Params:
  • loggerName – The name of the Logger to be set. Must be non-null.
  • levelName – The name of the level to set on the specified logger, or null if setting the level to inherit from its nearest ancestor.
Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – if the specified logger does not exist, or levelName is not a valid level name.
  • SecurityException – if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control").

void setLoggerLevel(String loggerName, String levelName);
Returns the name of the parent for the specified logger. If the specified logger does not exist, null is returned. If the specified logger is the root Logger in the namespace, the result will be an empty string.
Params:
  • loggerName – The name of a Logger.
Returns:the name of the nearest existing parent logger; an empty string if the specified logger is the root logger. If the specified logger does not exist, null is returned.
/** * Returns the name of the * {@linkplain java.util.logging.Logger#getParent parent} * for the specified logger. * If the specified logger does not exist, {@code null} is returned. * If the specified logger is the root {@code Logger} in the namespace, * the result will be an empty string. * * @param loggerName The name of a {@code Logger}. * * @return the name of the nearest existing parent logger; * an empty string if the specified logger is the root logger. * If the specified logger does not exist, {@code null} * is returned. */
