-------------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
> RollingFileAppender with SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy does not work properly
> with large size limits
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-2501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2501
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.8.2
> Environment: Log4j v.2.8.2 with SLF4J v.1.7.21. Currently running
> Java version 1.8.0_161.
> Reporter: Raphael
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: log4j2.xml
>
>
> My application uses a RollingFileAppender with a SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy in
> which logs should roll over once they reach 50MB in size. However, if the
> logs exceed this size while the application is running they do not roll over.
> Only when the application is restarted do the logs get rolled over if they
> are too big.
>
> If the size limit is set to 50KB, or 5MB, the rolling over works fine. It
> seems like only for large size limits like 50MB that this problem occurs.
> I've attached my log4j2.xml config file to this issue.
> Here is a snippet containing the RollingFileAppender config:
> {code:xml}
> <RollingFile
> append="true"
> name="rootfile"
> fileName="/logs/root.log"
> filePattern="/logs/root.%i.log">
> <DefaultRolloverStrategy fileIndex="min" max="10"/>
> <Policies>
> <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="50000 KB"/>
> </Policies>
> <PatternLayout pattern="[%d{ISO8601}]%5p[%t]%x - %C.%M(%F:%L) - %m%n"/>
> </RollingFile>
> {code}
