Ralph Goers resolved LOG4J2-2840.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
> 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.
