log4j 1.2.15 Rolling file appender building files.. not rolling them

[Bhramara . Chickamuniswamy]

Hi,

 

Using log4j version 1.2.15.

 

RollingFileAppender used in the configuration works fine with the app
deployed on the local machine, with MaxFileSize and MaxBackUp index
behaving as expected. However on a server where the application is
deployed, the log files build up to much higher sizes - 5MB, 3MB etc and
the BackUp files are randomly deleted. I see only infra.log and
infra.log.2 etc.

 

Any lead on this will be truly appreciated. 

 

A section of my log4j.xml:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

 

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";>

 

    <appender name="INFRA_INFO"
class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

        <param name="File" value="D:/logs/infra/infra_info.log"/>

        <param name="Append" value="true"/>

        <param name="MaxFileSize" value="1MB"/>

        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="2"/>

        <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

            <param name="ConversionPattern" 

                   value="%d{dd:MM:yyyy HH:mm:ss} %p - %C{1}.%M(%L) |
%m%n"/>

        </layout>

        <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">

            <param name="LevelMin" value="INFO"/>

            <param name="LevelMax" value="INFO"/>

            <param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="true"/>

        </filter>

        <filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.DenyAllFilter"/>

    </appender>

 

    <logger name="com.xyz.abc.infra">

        <level value="INFO"/>

        <appender-ref ref="INFRA_INFO"/>   

    </logger>

 

</log4j:configuration>
