public class ConsoleFormatter

extends java.util.logging.Formatter

Formats log messages to be displayed on console. This handler is associated with the ConsoleHandler which logs messages to the Stdout. The log output in the console shows the timestamp, severity, subsystem, id and the message. The KernelMBean.StdoutLogStack setting controls whether stack traces are included in the logged message. The KernelMBean.StdoutFormat attribute controls whether the log id is included in the console logged output. The timestamp format is DateFormat.MEDIUM for the date component and DateFormat.FULL for the time component. The actual output format depends on the default settings for the Locale. This formatter is also used for NonCatalogLoggers on the client side.
