Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2840:
-------------------------------------
You should expect that you won't see any errors while logging. I would expect
it to fail during rollover. Rollovers should continue to occur as Log4j
recalculates the file size on every write without having to call File.size().
But when the file tries to roll over it will fail as it will get a file not
found exception.
> Log4j2 is not able to detect a deleted log file.

> Key: LOG4J2-2840
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2840
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders, Configuration
> Affects Versions: 2.12.1
> Environment: Unix server.
> Reporter: Prateek Sethi
> Priority: Major
>
> I am using Log4j2 2.12.1.
> And I have configured a rolling file appender to write to a file ( which gets
> rolled over based on some size limit).
> The issue I am facing is that when active file gets deleted from the backend
> , log4j2 logger is not able to detect the file deletion and keep on
> processing the message. I am not able to figure out where the messages are
> being written.
> The Status Logger also doesn't show any error events.
> Expected behaviour would have that logger should have created a new file and
> started writing into it.
