Hi! I know, these appenders have already been discussed, but I couldn't find a solution that would work in the archive.
I just want to have an appender that rolls every day (DailyFile) and creates/saves 1 log-file (DailyLog4J.log) and 1 backup-file. And I want another appender that rolls when the file-size reaches for example 5KB (RollingFile) and creates/saves 1 log-file (RollingLog4J.log) and for example 2 backup-files. I tried the following configuration ... <appender name = "DailyFile" class = "org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender"> <param name = "Threshold" value = "INFO" /> <param name = "Append" value = "false" /> <param name = "DatePattern" value = "'.'yyyy-MM-dd" /> <param name = "File" value = "o:\\Mp_safir\\umgebung\\Log4J-Test\\DailyLog4J.log" /> <layout class = "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name = "ConversionPattern" value = "%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p: [%m]%n" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name = "RollingFile" class = "org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender"> <param name = "Append" value = "false" /> <param name = "maxFileSize" value = "5KB" /> <param name = "maxBackupIndex" value = "2" /> <param name = "File" value = "o:\\Mp_safir\\umgebung\\Log4J-Test\\RollingLog4J.log" /> <layout class = "org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name = "ConversionPattern" value = "%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss} %-5p: [%m]%n" /> </layout> </appender> Well, I first didn't have the append-parameter set. No rolling happend at all. With append = false I finally get a reaction ... but not a useful one. The log-files are cleared and the logging continues, but there are no backup-files created. The strangest thing is that the log-files seem to be cleared not only at the configured rolling-events (file-size or date), but everytime a loggin occurs. I guess this unwanted clearing is caused by the append-parameter, but I don't have a clue why it is there at all then - it doesn't seem to make sense to me, when you don't save any of your logging ... Am I using a wrong configuration for my purpose? I really would appreciate any advice and/or sample-configurations. I'm currently still using 1.1.3 - but we'll switch to 1.5.2 soon, if this can have any influence on this problem. Thanks!
