[SOLVED by Pandemoneus] Any way to remove MC server's log entries?

Hey there,

I was wondering if there was a Bukkit method to remove console messages sent my the original Minecraft Server. (Eg: opping player44)
It would then not appear in the console or in the log.

Please ask any question because it sounded a bit vague to myself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Or to somehow read and catch (stop) the output.

Why you need it? I don't know why any plugin must hide log information from admins... if it's not a trojan...

 

Haha, no Trojan, it's for my server's use. I'll be sending logged items to a program and I need to remove certain logged things so that's why I was asking. Any suggestions?

 

Hm. This is something I threw up and it is not complete, but that should work.

Create a new class or make this a nested class and use this:

Code:java

public class MyFilter implements Filter {
    @Override
    public void isLoggable(LogRecord record) {
        String message = record.getMessage();
        if (message.contains(<certainStringsYouDoNotWant>)) {
             return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Make a plugin and put this in your onEnable():

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
    Bukkit.getLogger().setFilter(new MyFilter());
}

You can also play around with the LogRecord object, just look at its JavaDoc.

 

You, are a legend! Thank-you so much!

 

It doesn't work when plugins use System.out.println() though.
