Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2284: ------------------------------------- Please test this with 2.11.2. I believe I may have fixed this issue. > Logfile rolling broken with RollingFileAppender and TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-2284 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2284 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 2.10.0, 2.11.0 > Environment: Windows 10, Java 1.8.161 > Reporter: Hartmut Honisch > Priority: Major > > I have a log4j config that uses RollingFileAppender with > TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy to create one logfile per minute (well in reality > it’s actually one logfile per day, but testing/reproducing the described > behaviour is easier when you don’t have to wait an entire day for the logfile > rolling to occur, and the bug described here applies to both rolling per day > and rolling per minute). > I would expect that each logfile contains only log entries written within the > same minute that’s suggested by its filename, for example: > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-00*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:00* > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-01*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:01* > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-02*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:02* > * … > > However that’s not the case: When I start the application, the first logfile > created contains log messages from both the minute suggested by its filename > and the next minute, and all subsequent logfiles contain messages that are > off by 1 minute compared to the logfile name. For example, let’s say I start > the app on 2018-03-21 10:00:01 Then the logfiles contain the following > messages: > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-00*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:00* and 2018-03-21 *10:01* > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-01*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:02* > * Logfile app.2018-03-21_*10-02*.log contains log messages starting with > timestamp 2018-03-21 *10:03* > * … > > I’m using the following log4j configuration > {{<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>}} > {{<Configuration status="warn">}} > {{ <Appenders>}} > {{ <RollingFile name="app_log" > filePattern="logs/app.%d\{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log">}} > {{ <PatternLayout>}} > {{ <Pattern>%d\{DEFAULT} - %m%n</Pattern>}} > {{ </PatternLayout>}} > {{ <Policies>}} > {{ <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy modulate="true"/>}} > {{ </Policies>}} > {{ </RollingFile>}} > {{ </Appenders>}} > {{ <Loggers>}} > {{ <Root level="info">}} > {{ <AppenderRef ref="app_log" level="info"/>}} > {{ </Root>}} > {{ </Loggers>}} > {{</Configuration>}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
