Grails supports sending all log messages(error,fatal etc.) to a support team<\/a> or to yourself, by email (gmail account),<\/strong> via log4j<\/strong> with SMTP Appender<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. For this we have to do some configration in Config.groovy<\/strong> as shown below:<\/p>\n

[groovy]
\n\/\/ import SMTPAppender and Log4j Lever classes
\nimport org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
\nimport org.apache.log4j.Level<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\/\/ Mail server Configration
\nmail.error.server = ‘smtp.gmail.com’
\nmail.error.port = 587
\nmail.error.username = ‘senderEmailId@gmail.com’
\nmail.error.password = ‘senderPassword’
\nmail.error.to = ‘receiver@gmail.com’
\nmail.error.subject = ‘Mail Subject’
\nmail.error.starttls = true
\nmail.error.debug = false<\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

\/\/ log4j Configration.
\nlog4j = {
\n System.setProperty ‘mail.smtp.starttls.enable’, config.mail.error.starttls.toString()
\n System.setProperty ‘mail.smtp.port’, config.mail.error.port.toString()<\/p>\n

\/\/ To send all errors or bigger level messages in email via SMTPAppender
\n appender new SMTPAppender(name: ‘smtp’, to: config.mail.error.to,
\n from: config.mail.error.from, subject: config.mail.error.subject, threshold: Level.ERROR, SMTPHost: config.mail.error.server,
\n SMTPUsername: config.mail.error.username, SMTPDebug: config.mail.error.debug.toString(),
\n SMTPPassword: config.mail.error.password,
\n layout: pattern(conversionPattern:’%d{[ dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS]} [%t] %n%-5p %n%c %n%C %n %x %n %m%n’))<\/p>\n

….<\/p>\n

root {
\n error ‘stdout’, ‘smtp’
\n additivity = false
\n }
\n}<\/p>\n

[\/groovy]<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> If you are using a version below Grails2<\/strong> then you will have to use mail.error.port<\/strong> instead of config.mail.error.port<\/strong> and mail.error.server<\/strong> instead of config.mail.error.server<\/strong> in log4j<\/strong> block, etc.<\/p>\n

2. Add dependency for mail.jar<\/strong> and activation.jar<\/strong>.
\n3. Add log.error(“Error Message”), when you want to mail error messages.<\/p>\n
