Java ASM uses logback log level dynamic switching method

Background

Everything has a cause and effect, and everything is event-driven. The log level switching of this solution comes from this background:

• There are hundreds and nearly a thousand microservices in a single production environment

• Log level switching does not require restarting the service, requiring immediate effects

• It is up to business developers to modify the code or add related dependency configurations, etc., which involves a wide range of issues and slows progress

• Later dynamic real-time filtering of junk logs to reduce IO and disk space costs

logback introduction

Before launching a war with the enemy, only the first Only by understanding the enemy's situation can we achieve victory in every battle. If you want to dynamically switch the log level of logback, you must first have at least a preliminary understanding of logback and see if it provides a ready-made implementation solution. Below is a brief introduction to logback related to this requirement.

Logback is an open source component for java logs. It was written by the founder of log4j. It is currently divided into 3 modules

• logback-core: core code module

• logback-classic: An improved version of log4j, which also implements the interface of slf4j

• logback-access: access module and Servlet container integration provides the function of accessing logs through Http

• ContextInitializer class is the logical implementation of the logback automatic configuration process

• The log level is maintained by Logger and use. Its member variable Level is maintained by Logger

• Logger has three filter log output methods with different parameters: filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus, filterAndLog_1, filterAndLog_2

• setLevel in Logger is to maintain the log level

Solution

Before working hard, first understand the market plan. This is the way designers and even product bosses seek optimal solutions.

Option 1: Automatically scan and update logback

This solution is a ready-made implementation of logback. As long as the configuration is turned on, the so-called dynamic switching of log levels can be achieved. Configuration method: In the logback configuration file, just add a scheduled scanner, such as:

<configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="30 seconds" debug="false">

This solution does not require R&D costs, and the operation and maintenance personnel can configure and use it themselves.

The disadvantage is:

• Every time the scan interval is adjusted, the service must be restarted

• More than 90% of scans It's all in vain, because the log level in production cannot be frequently switched, and it is not allowed to do so.

• The effect is not real-time. If you set it to scan every minute or every few minutes, Then making the log level adjustment take effect will not take effect immediately, but this can be ignored

• This solution cannot meet our junk log discarding needs, such as discarding logs based on certain keywords output. For this historical reason, a lot of junk logs are printed. Considering the time cost, it is impossible for business research and development to optimize it.

Option 2: ASM dynamically modifies the bytecode

Of course, there are other solutions, such as defining the interface API yourself. To directly call the setLevel method in Logger to adjust the level; springboot integration.

None of these plans can avoid the involvement of business development roles.

Through asm dynamic modification instructions, this solution can not only adjust the log level to take effect immediately. It can also meet the needs of filtering logs

The specific implementation is as follows. I will not introduce asm here. Students who don’t know it need to familiarize themselves with the instructions of asm, java agent and jvm first:

1. Idea creates a maven project

## 2. Maven introduces dependencies

3. Writes the attrach startup class

package agent;
import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation;
import java.lang.instrument.UnmodifiableClassException;
/**
 * @author dengbp
 * @ClassName LogbackAgentMain
 * @Description attach 启动器
 * @date 3/25/22 6:27 PM
 */
public class LogbackAgentMain {
    private static String FILTER_CLASS = "ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger";
    public static void agentmain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation inst) throws UnmodifiableClassException {
        System.out.println("agentArgs:" + agentArgs);
        inst.addTransformer(new LogBackFileTransformer(agentArgs), true);
        Class[] classes = inst.getAllLoadedClasses();
        for (int i = 0; i < classes.length; i++) {
            if (FILTER_CLASS.equals(classes[i].getName())) {
                System.out.println("----重新加载Logger开始----");
                inst.retransformClasses(classes[i]);
                System.out.println("----重新加载Logger完毕----");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

4. Implements words Section code conversion processor

package agent;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter;
import java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer;
import java.security.ProtectionDomain;
/**
 * @author dengbp
 * @ClassName LogBackFileTransformer
 * @Description 字节码文件转换器
 * @date 3/25/22 6:25 PM
 */
public class LogBackFileTransformer implements ClassFileTransformer {

    private final String level;
    private static String CLASS_NAME = "ch/qos/logback/classic/Logger";
    public LogBackFileTransformer(String level) {
        this.level = level;
    }
    @Override
    public byte[] transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, Class<?> classBeingRedefined, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, byte[] classfileBuffer) {
        if (!CLASS_NAME.equals(className)) {
            return classfileBuffer;
        }
        ClassReader cr = new ClassReader(classfileBuffer);
        ClassWriter cw = new ClassWriter(cr, ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES);
        ClassVisitor cv1 = new LogBackClassVisitor(cw, level);
        /*ClassVisitor cv2 = new LogBackClassVisitor(cv1);*/
        // asm框架使用到访问模式和责任链模式
        // ClassReader 只需要 accept 责任链中的头节点处的 ClassVisitor即可
        cr.accept(cv1, ClassReader.SKIP_FRAMES | ClassReader.SKIP_DEBUG);
        System.out.println("end...");
        return cw.toByteArray();
    }
}

5. The visitor who implements the Logger element

package agent;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor;
import org.objectweb.asm.Opcodes;
/**
 * @author dengbp
 * @ClassName LogBackClassVisitor
 * @Description Logger类元素访问者
 * @date 3/25/22 5:01 PM
 */
public class LogBackClassVisitor extends ClassVisitor {
    private final String level;
    /**
     * asm版本
     */
    private static final int ASM_VERSION = Opcodes.ASM4;

    public LogBackClassVisitor(ClassVisitor classVisitor, String level) {
        super(ASM_VERSION, classVisitor);
        this.level = level;
    }
    @Override
    public MethodVisitor visitMethod(int access, String name, String descriptor, String signature,
                                     String[] exceptions) {
        MethodVisitor mv = super.visitMethod(access, name, descriptor, signature, exceptions);
        return new LogFilterMethodVisitor(api, mv, access, name, descriptor, level);
    }
}

6. The visitor who finally implements the key method of Logger

This visitor (class), To switch log levels, you need to modify the instructions for Logger's three log filtering methods. The principle is to overwrite the value of the log level parameter entered in the command line with the value of its member variable effectiveLevelInt. Due to the large length, only the core part of the code is posted. Please see below:

package agent;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.Label;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.commons.AdviceAdapter;
import org.objectweb.asm.Opcodes;
/**
 * @author dengbp
 * @ClassName LogFilterMethodVisitor
 * @Description Logger类日志过滤方法元素访问者
 * @date 3/25/22 5:01 PM
 */
public class LogFilterMethodVisitor extends AdviceAdapter {
    private String methodName;
    private final String level;
    private static final String filterAndLog_1 = "filterAndLog_1";
    private static final String filterAndLog_2 = "filterAndLog_2";
    private static final String filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus = "filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus";
    protected LogFilterMethodVisitor(int api, MethodVisitor methodVisitor, int access, String name, String descriptor, String level) {
        super(api, methodVisitor, access, name, descriptor);
        this.methodName = name;
        this.level = level;
    }
    /**
     * Description 在访问方法的头部时被访问
     * @param
     * @return void
     * @Author dengbp
     * @Date 3:36 PM 4/1/22
     **/
    @Override
    public void visitCode() {
        System.out.println("visitCode method");
        super.visitCode();
    }
    @Override
    protected void onMethodEnter() {
        System.out.println("开始重写日志级别为："+level);
        System.out.println("----准备修改方法----");
        if (filterAndLog_1.equals(methodName)) {
            modifyLogLevel_1();
        }
        if (filterAndLog_2.equals(methodName)) {
            modifyLogLevel_2();
        }
        if (filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus.equals(methodName)) {
            modifyLogLevel_3();
        }
        System.out.println("重写日志级别成功....");
    }

Among them modifyLogLevel_1(); modifyLogLevel_2() ;modifyLogLevel_3(); corresponds to the modification of filterAndLog_1, filterAndLog_2, filterAndLog_0_Or3Plus method instructions respectively. Only the implementation of modifyLogLevel_1 is posted below

/**
     * Description 修改目标方法：filterAndLog_1

     * @return void
     * @Author dengbp
