-------------------------------------
Summary: Date based file appender
Key: LOG4J2-1101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1101
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Appenders
Reporter: Haavar Valeur
I'd like to reintroduce the option of logging to a file that has the current
date in it.
For example, when the app starts up, it will start logging to
myapp-20150821.log. At midnight, it starts logging to a new file named
myapp-20150822.log.
Log4j2's RollingFileAppender does not support this. In log4j2 the file appender
will log to one file with a static file name, and then the content is moved
over to another file.
This used to be a feature in log4j 1.3, when using extras. I would configure it
like this:
<appender name="myapp" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<param name="FileNamePattern" value="myapp-%d{yyyyMMdd}.log"/>
</rollingPolicy>
....
</appender>
