Thread dumps

have linux process with id [pid] dump its threads to the console

kill -3 [pid]
jstack [id]

lazy method, simply force all java processes to make thread dumps (not for production)

java.util.logging

Since Java 7 it is possible to configure the output pattern for log messages with the SimpleFormatter.

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINE
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%1$tl:%1$tM:%1$tS %4$s %2$s: %5$s %6$s%n

The digits in the property value above refer to parameters provided to the formatter.

0. format - the java.util.Formatter format string specified in the java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format property or the default format.
1. date - a Date object representing event time of the log record.
2. source - a string representing the caller, if available; otherwise, the logger's name.
3. logger - the logger's name.
4. level - the log level.
5. message - the formatted log message. It uses java.text formatting and does not use the java.util.Formatter format argument.
6. thrown - a string representing the throwable associated with the log record and its backtrace beginning with a newline character.

Pattern Syntax:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html

programmatically loading a config file:

final LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();
try (final InputStream is = Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/logging.properties")) {
	logManager.readConfiguration(is);
}
