net.shibboleth.idp.authn logging

[Brian Biggs]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup logging to capture only authentication related 
events in a single log file. I've read through the docs on the wiki, and 
configured logback.xml with a logger and an appender that seem like they 
should work.

When I start up shibboleth, the log file I designated in the appender 
gets created, but no data ever gets written to that file.

Relevant config entries in logback.xml are:

<variable name="idp.loglevel.idp.authn" value="INFO" />
<logger name="net.shibboleth.idp.authn" 
level="${idp.loglevel.idp.authn:-INFO}"/>
<appender name="IDP_AUTHN" 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
     <File>${idp.logfiles}/idp-authn.log</File>
     <rollingPolicy 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${idp.logfiles}/idp-authn-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
         <maxHistory>${idp.loghistory:-180}</maxHistory>
     </rollingPolicy>
     <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
         <charset>UTF-8</charset>
         <Pattern>%date{ISO8601} - [%mdc{idp.remote_addr}] - 
%msg%n%ex{short}</Pattern>
     </encoder>
</appender>
<logger name="Shibboleth-Authn" level="ALL">
     <appender-ref ref="${idp.authn.appender:-IDP_AUTHN}"/>
</logger>


Am I missing something here? Any  help appreciated.

Thanks,
-Brian
