Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1622: ------------------------------------- I am guessing you have trouble with the variables. Variables like $\{filepath} or $\{patternTime} need to be either declared as properties in the configuration, *or* prefixed with {{sys:}} so that Log4j 2 knows to use the system property Lookup. In configuration: {code} <Configuration status="warn"> <Properties> <Property name="filepath">/path/to/log/directory</Property> <Property name="patternTime">%date %level %logger %message</Property> </Properties> <Appenders> <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${filepath}/app.log" filePattern="${filepath}/logs/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log"> <PatternLayout><Pattern>${patternTime}</Pattern></PatternLayout> <Policies><CronTriggeringPolicy schedule="0 0 0 * * ?"/></Policies> </RollingFile> </Appenders> <Loggers> <Root level="trace> <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" /> </Root> </Loggers> </Configuration> {code} *or* as system properties {code} <Configuration status="warn"> <Appenders> <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${sys:filepath}/app.log" filePattern="${sys:filepath}/logs/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log"> <PatternLayout><Pattern>${sys:patternTime}</Pattern></PatternLayout> <Policies><CronTriggeringPolicy schedule="0 0 0 * * ?"/></Policies> </RollingFile> </Appenders> <Loggers> <Root level="trace> <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" /> </Root> </Loggers> </Configuration> {code} > how to config a DailyRollingFileAppender like log4j1.x > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LOG4J2-1622 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1622 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Question > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 2.6.2 > Reporter: Tboy > > like this: > {code} > <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${filepath}/app.log" > filePattern="${filepath}/logs/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log"> > <PatternLayout> > <Pattern>${patternTime}</Pattern> > </PatternLayout> > <Policies> > <CronTriggeringPolicy schedule="0 0 0 * * ?"/> > </Policies> > </RollingFile> > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
