---------------------------
Summary: Allow to log some important information at the start of
each new roll over log file when using RollingFile Appender
Key: LOG4J2-921
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-921
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Setu
if someone wants to log some important information at the start of each roll
over log file there is no mechanism present in current version. The header
attribute in PatternLayout barely does the job because it logs the header at
the start of each system startup.
Example: There is a requirement to log some system properties (or any other
details, environment details, etc) at the each roll over so that it becomes
easy to determine on which environment the software is running. When tried to
use header attribute on a software that continuously runs on server it did not
work as expected instead the header was logged whenever the server got
restarted.
Also how can they key supplied in header attribute be logged with line breaks.
Example: when using header="${java:runtime} - ${java:vm} - ${java:os}" it
prints all the information in same line which makes it unreadable if someone
wants more details.
Implementing a custom lookup did not help either as all it did was kept logging
the custom lookup key in header attribute at each system restart instead of at
the start of new rollover file.
