Prateek Sethi commented on LOG4J2-2840:
---------------------------------------
Thanks Ralph for the explanation.
If in case the rollover size is 1 GB, then there is risk of losing that much
log data before the rollover happens and file not found error occurs.
So just for my understanding, if file gets deleted, where is the Rolling File
appender writing the logs as it does n't throw any error ?
> Log4j2 is not able to detect a deleted log file.

> 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.
