-------------------------------------------------------------
Geoff, the fix just made it into the 2.0-rc1 release. It will take a few days
for the team to verify the release and the artifacts to get published to the
mirrors. Meanwhile, you can verify the fix with the artifacts staged here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachelogging-1002/org/apache/logging/log4j/
(or you can build from trunk, or course).

> Rolled log files overwritten by RollingFile appender with composite time and
> size based policies
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: LOG4J2-531
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-531
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04, java version "1.7.0_51"
> Reporter: Geoff Ballinger
> Assignee: Remko Popma
> Fix For: 2.0-rc1
>
>
> We have a system which generates high volume logs which are required to be
> preserved for audit purposes, and have been having problems with files being
> unexpectedly overwritten.
> We are using a RollingFile appender with day granularity, time based and size
> based triggering policies, and a rollover strategy with a suitably large max
> value.
> I have created a simple test case with minute granularity to quickly
> illustrate the problem, which is v. similar to the example given in the
> documentation:
> {noformat}
> import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
> import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
> public class LogTest
> {
> private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("TestLogger");
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
> {
> for (long i=0; ; i+=1) {
> logger.debug("Sequence: " + i);
> Thread.sleep(250);
> }
> }
> }
> {noformat}
> ... with a config of:
> {noformat}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Configuration>
> <Appenders>
> <RollingFile name="Test" fileName="logs/test.log"
> filePattern="logs/test/$${date:yyyyMMddHHmm}/TEST-%d{yyyyMMddHHmm}-%i.log.gz">
> <PatternLayout pattern="%d %p (%t) [%c] - %m%n"/>
> <Policies>
> <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="1 KB"/>
> </Policies>
> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="999999"/>
> </RollingFile>
> </Appenders>
> <Loggers>
> <Root level="debug">
> <AppenderRef ref="Test"/>
> </Root>
> </Loggers>
> </Configuration>
> {noformat}
> If this is run as is many of the rollover logfiles have other files written
> over them and are lost, as can clearly be seen by the gaps in the remaining
> sequence numbers, and the order the sequence numbers appear in the resulting
> files.
> If the time based policy is removed from the config and it is re-run then all
> sequence numbers are correctly stored and in the expected order., Without the
> time based trigger some are carried over into the folder for the next period
> which is not ideal, though is what we are using at present to avoid data loss.
