Seweryn Habdank-Wojewodzki updated LOG4J2-2121:
-----------------------------------------------
Description:
Dears,
I have very simple configuration of the RollingFile appender
{code:xml}
<RollingFile name="RollingFile"
fileName="${env:LOG_DIR}/${application}/endpoint.log"
filePattern="$${env:LOG_DIR}/$${application}/$${date:yyyy-MM}/endpoint-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="5"/>
</RollingFile>
{code}
This configuration works partly good. Every day there is created file in folder
_YYYY-MM_.
That is expected.
What is not expected - it is that the process is not limited at all. I mean
there are more than 5 files in all folders.
Questions:
Is it something wrong with configuration?
is max=5 considered to be the numeber of files or folders (in my case months)?
or max=5 is ignored at all.
I had read some hints in SO: [How does Log4j2 DefaultRolloverStrategy's max
attribute really
work?|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24551768/how-does-log4j2-defaultrolloverstrategys-max-attribute-really-work]
Thanks in advance for help.
