Jitin Dominic updated LOG4J2-3385:
----------------------------------
Description:
I'm using the latest (v2.17.1) log4j2 dependencies in my grails 2.5.4
application. Following are the dependencies used:
* log4j-api
* log4j-core
* log4j-1.2-api
* log4j-slf4j-impl
I'm trying to configure the _log4j2.properties_ in a way to create a new file
based on date and time on each application run.
But when I run it, only the application.log file gets created. There's no date
and time in the file name. And also, nothing is logged inside the file; it's
empty. Any idea what I might be configuring wrong.
Here's my log4j2.properties file:
{code:java}
appender.rolling.type = RollingFile
appender.rolling.name = RollingFile
appender.rolling.fileName = /home/jd/application.log
appender.rolling.filePattern = /home/jd/application.%d{dd-MMM-hh}.log
appender.rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout appender.rolling.layout.pattern =
%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %m%n
appender.rolling.policies.type = Policies appender.rolling.policies.time.type =
TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy appender.rolling.policies.time.interval = 1
appender.rolling.policies.time.modulate = true
appender.rolling.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.rolling.strategy.max = 5
logger.rolling.name =
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.RollingFileAppender
logger.rolling.level = debug
logger.rolling.additivity = false
logger.rolling.appenderRefs = rolling logger.rolling.appenderRef.rolling.ref =
RollingFile {code}
*+Update:+*
When I add rootLogger level,
{code:java}
rootLogger.level = debug
rootLogger.appenderRefs = rolling
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = RollingFile {code}
am able to see the contents now in the file. Is it necessary to have root
logger configured always?
Although am still not able to generate multiple files based on each application
run. It just created application.log file and keeps on appending the log of
each run in the same file.
