rotating fisheye.out log file

[tmv]

Hi,

Is there anything to help with rotating the fisheye.out log file.  It's growing quite large.

Hi Felipe,

fisheye.out is written out by the line below from the start.sh command.

fisheyectl.sh:  nohup sh -c "exec $CMD" >> $FISHEYE_INST/var/log/fisheye.out 2>&1 &

According to your link, updating log4j.xml will reduce most logging information in fisheye.out but not completely eliminate it.

If I follow the instruction in the link, then I will get duplicate logging files:

1) There is already anrolling log file (e.g. atlassian-fisheye-2015-01-28.log) from the appender in log4j.xml:

    <appender name="fisheyelog" class="com.cenqua.fisheye.logging.DailyRollingFileAppender">

        <param name="baseFile" value="${fisheye.inst}/var/log/atlassian-fisheye.log"/>

2) Now we will introduce a System.out file from link

<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

      <param name="File" value="System.out"/>

These two files have pretty much exact information.  In addition I still have fisheye.out that contains information not in System.out file or atlassian-fisheye.log file.

I'm thinking just to leave everything as they are and use a 3rd party tool to rotate fisheye.out.  BTW, I'm using version 3.6.3.
