Joe Merten commented on LOG4J2-486:
-----------------------------------
Ok, for the initial problem »add custom info at the start of each logfile« we
are currently discussing 2 approaches:
# extend DefaultRolloverStrategy (with wrapping RolloverDescriptor etc)
# extend PatternLayout (to setHeader/Footer, currently no dynamic contents
(like uptime) possible)
For the moment, I'm still discovering approach 1 (extend
DefaultRolloverStrategy), were I do my custom stuff in the overridden
Action.execute():
{code:borderStyle=solid}
static class MyAction implements Action {
...
@Override public boolean execute() throws IOException {
boolean ret = delegate.execute();
try {
BufferedWriter writer = null;
try {
writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new
File(fileName), true));
writer.write("*************************\n");
writer.write("*** Hello new logfile ***\n");
writer.write("*************************\n");
} finally {
if (writer != null)
writer.close();
}
} catch (Throwable e) {
logger.error("Writing to top of new logfile \"" + fileName +
"\" with", e);
}
return ret;
}
{code}
That results in logfiles like:
{code}
*************************
*** Hello new logfile ***
*************************
2014-01-07 15:07:56,715 INFO [Tts XmlServer] tts.XmlServer
(XmlServer.java:119) - XmlServer listens on port 42120
2014-01-07 15:07:56,730 INFO [Tts XmlServer] tts.XmlServer
(XmlServer.java:119) - Connected
{code}
But I want my logfiles like this:
{noformat}
2014-01-07 15:07:56,700 INFO [Thread] package.class - *************************
2014-01-07 15:07:56,705 INFO [Thread] package.class - *** Hello new logfile ***
2014-01-07 15:07:56,710 INFO [Thread] package.class - *************************
2014-01-07 15:07:56,715 INFO [Tts XmlServer] tts.XmlServer - XmlServer listens
on port 42120
2014-01-07 15:07:56,730 INFO [Tts XmlServer] tts.XmlServer - Connected
{noformat}
Therefor, I try to access the PatternLayout which is configured for related
appender, so that I can use it inside my implementation of Action.execute() to
format my messages.

> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20819376/log4j2-rollingfile-appender-add-custom-info-at-the-start-of-each-logfile
> I want to add some custom info at the top of each logfile, like the version
> string of my application, the application uptime and the system uptime. And
> even writing some »bye, bye / eof« to the bottom of the just closed logfile
> would also be fine.
> Because there is no appropriate hook or callback to get notified when the
> RollingFileAppander is creating / has created a new file, so that I can put
> my things at first into these new logfile, I tried to extend
> DefaultRolloverStrategy. But currently, I stuck at some points.
> Seems that I have to deal with {{@Plugin}} and {{@PluginFactory}}. My try
> with the attached log4j2.xml and MyRolloverStrategy.java compiles without
> errors and warnings. But when I start the application, I get this error
> message:
> {{2014-01-05 23:22:05,876 ERROR RollingFile contains an invalid element or
> attribute "MyRolloverStrategy"}}
> And then the next step would be: "how to write to the logfiles within my
> rollover method?"
