   Ice::CommunicatorPtr& communicator, const Ice::StringSeq& args)
{
          communicator->setLogger(new MyCustomLoger());
}

Hi,

Yes, that is a correct way to install the logger. In the default IceBox configuration, where each service has its own communicator instance, your code will only affect the communicator for this service.

Take care,

Note that you can also use a plug-in to do the same thing. In your configuration file put a property such as:

Ice.Plugin.Logger=Logger,0.0.1:create

Then write a custom plug-in that creates a logger and registers it with the communicator. You can see the Ice manual for more information on custom plug-ins.
