Hello
I am trying to configure log4j.properties to rotate catalina.out log using DailyRollingFileAppender or RollingFileAppender, however I am not able to achieve such configuration.
I tried following:
1) DailyRollingFileAppender
"tomlog" in rootLogger definition
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, console, filelog, tomlog
Then parameters to rotate each minute as an example
# DailyRollingFileAppender. Rotate catalina.out log
#####################################################
log4j.appender.tomlog = org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.tomlog.File = /opt/atlassian/jira/logs/catalina.out
log4j.appender.tomlog.Append = true
log4j.appender.tomlog.Encoding = UTF-8
log4j.appender.tomlog.DatePattern = '.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm'.test.log'
log4j.appender.tomlog.layout = org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.tomlog.layout.ConversionPattern = %d [%t] %-5p %c- %m%
However after Jira restart I see that Jira creates some files but the latest entries was recorded in "catalina.out.2015-05-27-10-59.test.log", not in catalina.out
catalina.out.2015-05-27-10-59.test.log
catalina.out.2015-05-27-11-22.test.log
catalina.out.2015-05-27-11-04.test.log
catalina.out.2015-05-27-11-01.test.log
catalina.out.2015-05-27-11-00.test.log
2) RollingFileAppender
"tomlog" in rootLogger definition
log4j.rootLogger=WARN, console, filelog, tomlog
Parameters to keep 100KB size of catalina.out and remove previous catalina logs except last 10 files
log4j.appender.tomlog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.tomlog.File=/opt/atlassian/jira/logs/catalina.out
log4j.appender.tomlog.MaxFileSize=100KB
log4j.appender.tomlog.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.tomlog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.tomlog.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
This configuration doesn't work also- catalina.out grows more then 100KB
Could help me to configure catalina.out log file rotation?
Thanks,
Fyodor
