> Close a dynamically created appender
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-649
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API, Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
> Environment: Windows 7 (64-bit)
> Reporter: Andrew Rose
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Fix For: 2.5
>
>
> I'm using the Routing functionality in Log4j 2 to dynamically create
> appenders at runtime. When I know that those appenders are finished with, I'd
> like to tell Log4j so that it can tidy up the related resources (flush &
> close files, free its internal objects related to those appenders, etc.).
> Without doing this, Log4j still has open file handles and I'm unable to
> manipulate the files that it has written (from an external process which
> post-processes and archives the logs).
> Remko Popma tells me (via the stackoverflow answer at
> http://stackoverflow.com/a/23827382/799399) that there is no way of doing
> this at the moment. I'd like to request that you consider enhancing Log4j 2
> in this way.
> I enclose my configuration below, in case it's relevant (but I think all the
> details you need are included in the above description).
