While I migrate to log4j2, I have configured my application to use the
Log4j 1.x bridge. I followed the Migration guide here:
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/migration.html
I continue to use my existing log4j.properties file which look like this:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=/var/log/mylog.out
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10KB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=2
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %-5p %t %c - %m%n
This successfully creates my log file and rolls over at 10KB.
I am having an issues that I can't explain. Here are the files in my log
directory:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 7.6K Jan 10 12:27 test.log
-rw-r----- 1 root root 11K Jan 10 12:27 test.log.1
-rw-r----- 1 root root 36K Jan 10 12:27 test.log.2
-rw-r----- 1 root root 11K Jan 10 12:27 test.log2022-01-10
I get a log file named for the current day. I've experimented and it looks
like the RollingFileAppender is also rolling at the end of each day. It
didn't do this before using the bridge. Any idea why this is happening and
how to stop it?
