You will need to include your logging token, region (e.g. "us" or "eu"), and formatter in a properties file:

text
1
handlers = com.rapid7.jul.LogentriesHandler
2
.handlers = com.rapid7.jul.LogentriesHandler
3
 
4
com.rapid7.jul.LogentriesHandler.token = e1786e4f-c4f7-40c7-94c2-5f84b1cce122
5
com.rapid7.jul.LogentriesHandler.region = eu
6
com.rapid7.jul.LogentriesHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

You will need these imports.

	import java.util.logging.LogManager;
2
	import java.util.logging.Logger;

Get a LogManager.

	private static LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();

Configure the log manager with the properties file, it will point it at the LogentriesHandler class.

InputStream is = new FileInputStream("src/main/resources/logging.properties");

logManager.readConfiguration(is);

Get the logger.

log.info("info logging message goes here");
