-------------------------------
Summary: Multiple instances of same application server cause 2
problems - want to know if they are solved in log4j 2
Key: LOG4J2-174
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-174
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Question
Components: Appenders
Environment: Unix based OS and Java based application servers
Reporter: Jas Gill
When we start multiple instances of application server using log4j 1.2 and all
instances read same configuration file, two problems are noticed.
1. At rollover time first app server doing rollover will do its job properly
but when subsequent ones will do rollover again and we lose logs. May be log4j
should check that if rolled over file is already present, it should skip
rollover.
2. After rollover only one instance is logging and others stop logging. The
problem is that the active file was rolled over and new file is created. Only
one server has pointer to it.
