Dispatcher reference

Splitter dispatcher

Function: sends received messages to all children nodes

Element name: splitter

Allowed attributes:

• formatid - format that will be inherited by all children nodes that doesn't override it

Example:

<sealog>
    <outputs>
        <splitter formatid="format1">
            <file path="log.log"/>
            <file path="log2.log"/>
        </splitter>
        <splitter formatid="format2">
            <file path="log3.log"/>
            <file path="log4.log"/>
        </splitter>
    </outputs>
    <formats>
        ...
    </formats>
</sealog>

Notes: '' element is also a splitter, this is just a special alias for the top splitter, so

<sealog>
    <outputs>
        <file path="split.log"/>
        <console />
    </outputs>
</sealog>

has the same meaning as

<sealog>
    <splitter>
        <file path="split.log"/>
        <console />
    </splitter>
</sealog>

,but the latter is not syntactically correct.

Element name: filter

	</filter>
        <console />
