    #  Module:  oflog
    #
    #  Author:  Uli Schlachter
    #
    #  Purpose: oflog sample configuration file
    #

    # This is an example config file for oflog. It's here to give an insight into
    # some of the possibilities that oflog provides together with log4cplus.
    #
    # As you see, all lines that start with a '#' are comments.
    #
    # At any place in this file, you can use variables. They are expanded into
    # settings from this file, e.g. ${log4cplus.rootLogger} would expand to the
    # current value of this logger (see a few lines below). In addition, the
    # following variables are predefined by oflog:
    #
    #  ${appname}        The name of the running application
    #  ${date}, ${time}  The date and time at which this file was read
    #  ${pid}            The process ID of the application which read this file
    #  ${hostname}       The hostname of the machine on which we are running
    #
    # If no such setting exists, environment variables are tried. On most systems
    # e.g. ${USER} would expand to the user name of the currently logged in user.
    #
    # Loggers are organized into hierarchies. If a log message is sent to the logger
    # named dcmtk.dcmdata.libi2d, by default it will also be sent to dcmtk.dcmdata,
    # dcmtk and the special "root logger" which is the base of the hierarchy.
    #
    # So, if you want to to catch all log messages, just configure the root logger:
    log4cplus.rootLogger = DEBUG, console, logfile

    # This line configures the root logger to sent all log events of level DEBUG or
    # higher to the appenders "console" and "logfile" (see below).
    #
    # These are the available log levels, in ascending order:
    # TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
    #
    # Now let's configure the above-mentioned appender called "console". Appenders
    # take log events and send them somewhere. Since we want to see what's going on,
    # our console appender shows the message on the console (who would have
    # thought). But since "debug" is a little verbose, we only display warnings and
    # higher levels.
    # You can use arbitrary names as the name for an appender.
    log4cplus.appender.console = log4cplus::ConsoleAppender
    log4cplus.appender.console.Threshold = INFO
    log4cplus.appender.console.logToStderr = true
    log4cplus.appender.console.ImmediateFlush = true

    # As you can see, we are saying that console is of type "ConsoleAppender". Then
    # we set some appender-specific properties. Each appender got different ones.

    # Now let's configure the "logfile" appender which will write a logfile for us.
    log4cplus.appender.logfile = log4cplus::FileAppender
    log4cplus.appender.logfile.File = ${appname}.log
    log4cplus.appender.logfile.Append = true
    log4cplus.appender.logfile.ImmediateFlush = true

    # One thing that all appenders need is a layout. It tells the appender how the
    # log messages should be formatted. The simple layout should be enough for
    # starters, but the PatternLayout is way more flexible.
    log4cplus.appender.console.layout = log4cplus::PatternLayout
    log4cplus.appender.logfile.layout = log4cplus::PatternLayout

    # The pattern layout can be told how the message should look like. Some of the
    # available variables include:
    # %n  A line ending
    # %m  The actual log message
    # %p  The log level of that message (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
    # %P  The first character of the log level (T, D, I, W, E, F) - added to log4cplus
    # %i  The process ID of the process generating the log entry
    # %h  The hostname of the system generating the log entry
    # %H  The full qualified domain name of the system generating the log entry
    # %M  The function in which this log event was generated
    # %F  The full filename of the source code file where this log event was generated
    # %b  The basename of the source code file where this log event was generated
    # %L  The line number where this log event was generated
    # %l  This is equivalent to %F:%L
    # %D{%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S} The time when this log event was generated. %D is local
    #     time, %d GMT. The available "time flags" are those from strftime() plus
    #     %q and %Q (milliseconds and fractional milliseconds).
    # A more complete list can be found here (if installed):
    #     <htmldir>/classlog4cplus_1_1PatternLayout.html#_details
    #
    # The line below creates a PatternLayout which looks like a "standard"
    # SimpleLayout, but which also includes the current time.
    log4cplus.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern = %D{%H:%M:%S} %5p: %m%n
    log4cplus.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %D{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%q} %5p: %m%n

    # Ok, now that we got the basics covered, here is the logger hierarchy used by
    # dcmtk:
    # dcmtk.dcmdata              Every module gets its own hierarchy
    # dcmtk.dcmdata.libi2d       And some modules even use this ;)
    # dcmtk.apps                 All apps are in a separate hierarchy
    # dcmtk.apps.dcmdump         And each app gets its own logger in here
    #
    # Each and every logger can be configured separately.
    #
    # If you want to know exactly which logger names are available, use %c in your
    # ConversionPattern (see above) which is replaced by the name of the logger.

    # Now come some special ".progress" loggers which we set to "INFO" log level:
    log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.apps.storescu.progress = INFO
    log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.apps.storescp.progress = INFO
    log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.apps.movescu.progress  = INFO
    log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.dcmqrdb.progress       = INFO

    # Also for the C-FIND and other DIMSE response messages, a special logger is
    # used in order to control the level of output in more detail.
    log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.dcmnet.responses = INFO

    # No log messages are ever sent to these loggers. Instead, only their log level
    # is checked. If it is "INFO" (not "DEBUG", not "WARN", exactly "INFO") then the
    # mentioned application displays a dot for each transferred PDU on the console.
    # That way the user gets visual feedback about the transfer and can be sure
    # something is happening.

    # -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    # From here on there are just commented out examples of what is possible.
    # -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    # So those debug log messages generated by dcmdata annoy you? Let's get rid of
    # them!
    # dcmdata's logger is configured to inherit its log level from its parent, but
    # to also send events to the dcmdata_logger appender.
    #log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.dcmdata = INHERIT, dcmdata_logger

    # And the log messages sent to this appender are just discarded.
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmdata_logger = log4cplus::NullAppender

    # Now there is a problem left. Remember that each logger passes its log messages
    # on to its parent? So dcmtk.dcmdata gives them to the dcmtk logger which passes
    # them on to the root logger and we get those messages on the console again.
    # Luckily, we can override this behavior for specific loggers:
    #log4cplus.additivity.dcmtk.dcmdata = false

    # Those debug messages from dcmnet... Uhm, no, we don't want them on the
    # console, but logging them to a file would be nice. Sounds like
    # log4cplus::fileAppender. But we don't want the file to grow too huge, so let's
    # automatically switch to a new file. There are two options for this:
    #
    # Either you switch after some specific file size:

    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger = log4cplus::RollingFileAppender
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.File = dcmnet.log
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.MaxFileSize = 500KB
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.MaxBackupIndex = 5

    # This leaves the last five files as dcmnet.log.1 etc behind, they are rotated
    # when we reach the MaxFileSize limit.

    # Or, you tell it to rotate log files based on the time:
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger = log4cplus::DailyRollingFileAppender
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.File = dcmnet.log
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.Schedule = twice_daily
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.MaxBackupIndex = 5

    # Available values for "Schedule" are:
    # monthly, weekly, daily, twice_daily, hourly, minutely
    #
    # The rotated files are saved as dcmnet.log.<time> where <time> depends on the
    # selected schedule.

    # Of course, we also have to tell dcmnet to use the above appender and to not
    # log them to the console. And our appender needs a layout.
    #log4cplus.logger.dcmtk.dcmnet = INHERIT, dcmnet_logger, dcmnet_cons_logger
    #log4cplus.additivity.dcmtk.dcmnet = false
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.layout = log4cplus::PatternLayout
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_logger.layout.ConversionPattern = %D{%H:%M:%S} %p - %m%n

    # Oh and the errors and warnings from dcmnet are important, aren't they?
    # We want them visible on the console.
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger = log4cplus::ConsoleAppender

    # So now we have to tell dcmnet_cons_logger to only log errors and warnings and
    # ignore the rest.
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger.filters.1 = log4cplus::spi::LogLevelRangeFilter
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger.filters.1.logLevelMin = warn
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger.filters.1.logLevelMax = fatal
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger.filters.1.acceptOnMatch = true
    #log4cplus.appender.dcmnet_cons_logger.filters.2 = log4cplus::spi::DenyAllFilter

    # For more information about the available options, you can consult log4cplus'
    # website at http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/ .
