---------------------------------------
Summary: There is no limit to logfile output
Key: ARTEMIS-4531
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4531
Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Broker
Affects Versions: 2.31.2
Reporter: Geert Schuring
The logging config does not limit the amount of rolled-over logfiles that are
stored, causing a minor resource leak. The system will (eventually) run out of
disk space without manual intervention.
The relevant config in etc/log4j2.properties currently looks like this:
{code:java}
# Log file appender
appender.log_file.type = RollingFile
appender.log_file.name = log_file
appender.log_file.fileName = ${sys:artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log
appender.log_file.filePattern =
${sys:artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}
appender.log_file.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.log_file.layout.pattern = %d %-5level [%logger] %msg%n
appender.log_file.policies.type = Policies
appender.log_file.policies.cron.type = CronTriggeringPolicy
appender.log_file.policies.cron.schedule = 0 0 0 * * ?
appender.log_file.policies.cron.evaluateOnStartup = true
# Audit log file appender
appender.audit_log_file.type = RollingFile
appender.audit_log_file.name = audit_log_file
appender.audit_log_file.fileName = ${sys:artemis.instance}/log/audit.log
appender.audit_log_file.filePattern =
${sys:artemis.instance}/log/audit.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}
appender.audit_log_file.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.audit_log_file.layout.pattern = %d [AUDIT](%t) %msg%n
appender.audit_log_file.policies.type = Policies
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.type = CronTriggeringPolicy
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.schedule = 0 0 0 * * ?
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.evaluateOnStartup = true{code}
This results in a new log file every day if there is any logging output. These
files are never deleted and keep accumulating.
After setting a limit of 5 files it looks like this:
{code:java}
# Log file appender
appender.log_file.type = RollingFile
appender.log_file.name = log_file
appender.log_file.fileName = ${sys:artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log
appender.log_file.filePattern =
${sys:artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}
appender.log_file.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.log_file.layout.pattern = %d %-5level [%logger] %msg%n
appender.log_file.policies.type = Policies
appender.log_file.policies.cron.type = CronTriggeringPolicy
appender.log_file.policies.cron.schedule = 0 0 0 * * ?
appender.log_file.policies.cron.evaluateOnStartup = true
appender.log_file.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.log_file.strategy.max = 5
# Audit log file appender
appender.audit_log_file.type = RollingFile
appender.audit_log_file.name = audit_log_file
appender.audit_log_file.fileName = ${sys:artemis.instance}/log/audit.log
appender.audit_log_file.filePattern =
${sys:artemis.instance}/log/audit.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}
appender.audit_log_file.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.audit_log_file.layout.pattern = %d [AUDIT](%t) %msg%n
appender.audit_log_file.policies.type = Policies
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.type = CronTriggeringPolicy
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.schedule = 0 0 0 * * ?
appender.audit_log_file.policies.cron.evaluateOnStartup = true
appender.audit_log_file.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.audit_log_file.strategy.max = 5 {code}
