Run in GUI-less mode about lilith HOT 4 CLOSED

This isn't possible right now. I considered implementing something like this but I just don't have the time right now.

Are you aware that you can instruct Logback to write Lilith files?

<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
    <file>classic.lilith</file>
    <encoder class="de.huxhorn.lilith.logback.encoder.ClassicLilithEncoder">
        <IncludeCallerData>true</IncludeCallerData>
    </encoder>
</appender>

This may be enough for your use-case. Granted, it's not an automatic merge of all the instances but you could still collect those files with a cron job or something.

Thanks for the very fast answer!

Thanks for the hint for writing lilith files with logback! Like you said, with that I can write something cron-job like to simulate something similar to the gui-less behaviour. And if it is somewhen realized, I can change to the structure I imagined in the first place.

Kind regards,
Felix

@huxi any news on this feature?

A headless Server/Collector/proxy mode would be very helpful now that with the "cloud" there are many more virtual hosts in use.

This is unfortunately not an option in many environments.

Thank you.

You should consider using something like Logstash for the cloud instead.

Chances are bad that I'll implement this because it would boil down to rewriting a 10y old code-base. If I'd actually do something like that, I'd probably rather implement it in Rust instead Java.

I'll close this issue now because I won't find the time and motivation to implement this.
