<!--
The logging in OpenNMS is designed to associate a 'prefix' with each thread that runs.
This prefix is used to indicate what 'subsystem' the thread is doing work for so that
logging for the subsystem can all be directed to the same log. The way this needs to work
in the code is that when a thread is doing work for subsystem (ie when it starts a method for
this system) it sets its prefix in a ThreadLocal way. All logs on this thread will then
get logged to that 'prefix' file. After the thread is done doing the work (that is before the
method returns) the prefix needs to be set back to the prefix it had before. Failure to do that
will cause all subsequent work done by this thread to log to the wrong place.
If log messages are appearing in the wrong log, it is a bug on the part of the developers of the
subsystem that is receiving the log messages because they are not restoring the log prefix
correctly when their thread is finished.
If your log messages are showing up in uncategorized.log, it indicates that the subsystem making calls
to your code is not properly setting a prefix when being called.

<!--
This section specifes how log messages are directed to log files. The below indicates
the log messages are sent to files of the form logs/${prefix}.log. Each message is placed in
a log file corresponding to its MDC prefix. This happens even if the prefix is not specified
above.
It is possible to add additional appenders to this section while debugging if you would
like messages to be logged in some other way. See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ for details.
