Ronald C Albury commented on LOG4J2-975:
----------------------------------------
I have slapped together a temporary fix for our site ... I am not suggesting
this is the final solution. There is more cleaning-up and elimination of dead
code that can be done, but my goal was to change as few lines of code as
possible.
Essentially I totally ignore the primary appender and just run with a list of
failover appenders.
@Override
public void start() {
final Map<String, Appender> map = config.getAppenders();
int errors = 0;
/*
if (map.containsKey(primaryRef)) {
primary = new AppenderControl(map.get(primaryRef), null, null);
} else {
LOGGER.error("Unable to locate primary Appender " + primaryRef);
++errors;
}
*/
for (final String name : failovers) {
if (map.containsKey(name)) {
failoverAppenders.add(new AppenderControl(map.get(name), null,
null));
} else {
LOGGER.error("Failover appender " + name + " is not
configured");
}
}
if (failoverAppenders.isEmpty()) {
LOGGER.error("No failover appenders are available");
++errors;
}
if (errors == 0) {
super.start();
}
}
/**
* Handle the Log event.
* @param event The LogEvent.
*/
@Override
public void append(final LogEvent event) {
if (!isStarted()) {
error("FailoverAppender " + getName() + " did not start
successfully");
return;
}
/*
final long localCheckMillis = nextCheckMillis;
if (localCheckMillis == 0 || System.currentTimeMillis() >
localCheckMillis) {
callAppender(event);
} else {
failover(event, null);
}
*/
failover(event, null);
}
/*
private void callAppender(final LogEvent event) {
try {
primary.callAppender(event);
nextCheckMillis = 0;
} catch (final Exception ex) {
nextCheckMillis = System.currentTimeMillis() + intervalMillis;
failover(event, ex);
}
}

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Environment: Windows-7
> Reporter: Ronald C Albury
>
> We are supposed to log to a network share - but sometimes it is not
> available. I created a Failover appender with a RollingFile appender to the
> network share as the primary, and a RollingFile appender to a local drive as
> a failover. If the network share is not available when my application starts,
> the Failover appender fails in its entirety and nothing is logged anywhere.
> <Failover name="MyFile" primary="ShareFile">
> <Failovers>
> <AppenderRef ref="LocalFile" />
> <AppenderRef ref="MyConsole" />
> </Failovers>
> </Failover>
