Re^3: combine logentries with Log::log4perl

[SimonPratt]

You appear to be attempting to log to multiple places, hence all the double ups (and probably the cause of stuff not appearing on screen as expected). Try this:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

my $conf = <<EOT;
log4perl.rootLogger = DEBUG, Log1
log4perl.appender.Log1 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.Log1.filename = /tmp/test.log
log4perl.appender.Log1.mode = append
log4perl.appender.Log1.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout
log4perl.appender.Log1.Threshold = INFO

log4perl.logger = TRACE, Log2
log4perl.appender.Log2 = Log::Log4perl::Appender::ScreenColoredLevels
log4perl.appender.Log2.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Log2.layout.ConversionPattern = %m%n

log4perl.category = TRACE, Buffer
log4perl.appender.Buffer = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Buffer
log4perl.appender.Buffer.appender = Log1
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger_level = ERROR
EOT

Log::Log4perl->init(\$conf);

TRACE("message #1 (screen only)");
INFO("message #2");
INFO("message #3");
sleep(10);
ERROR("message #4");

EDIT: You've set the buffer to intercept all messages and only allow DEBUG and higher through. Thats why your onscreen TRACE message disappears. Still looking into the doubling up thing.

Oh, and I've updated my source - This gets the screen to display correctly, but everything is still doubled in the file.
