Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3457:
-------------------------------------
OK, thanks. It is clear now.
# I do not envision that we would update Log4j's RollingFileAppender to do
what you are doing. The RollingFileAppender is already overly complicated.
# Your best bet would be to convert your custom appender to be a Log4j 2
Appender.

> In our application we require a rolling file appender which can be used
> across multiple processes targeting the same file.
> I wanted to check if current log4j1.x 2.17.2 bridge version supports multi
> process rolling file appender, if not then is there any plan to support this
> feature in future releases??
> For reference, as per our application requirement, I am attaching sample java
> class files for custom appender, custom multi process rolling appender,
> sample test program with multiple threads for which we can run multiple
> instances to test multi process rolling and log4j property
> file.[^CustomLogger.java][^JavaLoggingMultiThTest.java][^customlog.properties]

> In one of the mail chain to group Log4J Users List
> <[email protected]>, [~ralphgoers] pointed out that
> {color:#ff0000}_"FWIW the Log4j 2 RollingFileAppender does not support being
> used across multiple processes targeting the same file either. I’d love to
