-----------------------------------
Summary: Log42j: Provide the capability to Rollover all appenders
in an application on Shutdown
Key: LOG4J2-3389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3389
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Appenders, Configuration
Affects Versions: 2.17.1
Environment: All, provide the feature as an implementation that can be
defined in the Log4j2 Configuration
Reporter: Brian Antao
Fix For: 2.18.0
I have seen many issues raised in StackOverflow for different variations of
finding a good solution to rolling over of all appenders in an application on
Shutdown. But no clear and best solution emerges.
Hence raising this issue which we in our organisation also have a great and
urgent Need for.
What we need is:
A Rollover strategy that we can include in all appenders in the Log4j2
Configuration, in the Appender definition to properly rollover the associated
log files on Shutdown.
The full rollover functionality needs to be defined fully in the Configuration
only and no need for Java Code to be written to call the LogManager.Shutdown()
method.
This feature would be a tremendous boost particularly managing log files
associated with multiple pods in Kubernetes deployed applications.
