How to add the Process id to a LOG4J log file?

Question

I currently have the below pattern layout in log4j. I want to add the Process id to the log file. How can I do it?

log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.Pa         


        

Answer 1

With the following pattern, showing threadID and class. If you want to see the Process ID, might check here

log4j.appender.SYSLOG.layout.conversionPattern=%-5p %d{ddMMyyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t:%c] %m%n

I managed to do so, but I have several appenders, one for each part of the application, like the following:

log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, SYSLOG2
log4j.logger.com.myself.logic=DEBUG, SYSLOG
log4j.logger.com.myself.database=DEBUG, SYSLOG3
log4j.logger.com.myself.other=DEBUG, SYSLOG

Here are some examples of generated logs, to check if this is what you require:
