Question

I’ve set up several packages in my grails application to log to certain files (like 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins' for example).

Now I just experienced that I’ve missed out on some exceptions from the quartz Jobs added via plug-in, because I didn’t have the package org.quartz configured in my logger configuration (although I had the logger above for grails plugins included).

Of course I can add this now, but I want to make sure that in the future I see all Errors etc. that can happen in my application.

So how can I add a configuration for everything I’ve not explicitly included? Is there something like * that I can use in my logging configuration?

Yeah, in log4j speak it’s called the root logger. See the documentation here:

http://grails.org/doc/1.1.x/guide/3.%20Configuration.html#3.1.2%20Logging

root {
    error()
}
