------------------------------------
I'd also suggest a database appender like the new Cassandra appender, but I
can't imagine that's much faster than all the file locking needed to implement
that prudent mode feature.
> Multiple instances of same application server cause 2 problems - want to know

> Key: LOG4J2-174
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-174
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Appenders
> Environment: Unix based OS and Java based application servers
> Reporter: Jas Gill
>
> When we start multiple instances of application server using log4j 1.2 and
> all instances read same configuration file, two problems are noticed.
> 1. At rollover time first app server doing rollover will do its job properly
> but when subsequent ones will do rollover again and we lose logs. May be
> log4j should check that if rolled over file is already present, it should
> skip rollover.
> 2. After rollover only one instance is logging and others stop logging. The
> problem is that the active file was rolled over and new file is created. Only
> one server has pointer to it.
