Hello!
So we have a use case where
+ Applications get redeployed frequently (10 per day)
+ The applications run in containers (Openshift)
+ The container hostname is always different on redeploy (new container)
+ The logfile is named after the container hostname (i.e. svc-2-asdf)
Using the RollingFileAppender with a
<file>${HOSTNAME}.log</file>
and a TimeBasedRollingPolicy with a
<fileNamePattern>${HOSTNAME}.%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
this works fine when we do not redeploy. On redeploy however the ${HOSTNAME}
changes and logs are not compressed because the RollingFileAppender only
compresses on roll which is every period (here: minute) if the filename is
still in the same pattern, which its not here.
Similarly the <maxHistory> and the <cleanHistoryOnStart> do not work here. For
this I have created a RollingFileAppender that compresses on shutdown. You can
find it here:

Is there another way without this custom Appender?
