ConsoleAppender vs FileAppender

Hi All,

Between Console appender and a file appender that is used for logging in application in production env,which is the better???

Regards

That depends on whether or not you want to log to the console or a file, really.

It depends upon requirement. Console appender shows logging information on console and FileAppender writes it into logging file.
FileAppender's logging files are good for future reference.

Thanks for the replies but my question is from a performance point of view, which is better of the two...if am logging the same set of statements across the appln

What did your performance testing show was the difference between the tow?

I havent done any testing but this is only a query from my end. would there be any potential performance diff between the two...

Well then, I guess you know what the next thing you should do is.

Performance? That's really an odd question. Since they don't do anywhere near the same thing, there wouldn't be any reason to choose between them based on performance.

But if it's just a theoretical question, with no practical meaning at all, then sure, go ahead, measure away.

Thanks for the responses!!!
