> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Question
> Affects Versions: 2.17.2
> Reporter: Janardhan Naidu
> Priority: Major
>
> HI Team,
>
> I am in process of migrating the log4j1 to log4j2, where we are rewriting the
> appenders with the help of AbstractAppender Plugin or using the property
> file. I have multiple questions regarding this, please help me to resolve the
> same.
> # how to force rolling file appender to create a new log file every time
> when we start the application? here, consider appenders are configured in
> property file.
> # We are rewriting one of the rollingfileappender using the
> abstractappender/abstractfileappender plugin way, But i am unable to find a
> method which will get executed before starting of the appender!. in log4j1,
> we had a method called *checkEntryConditions.* So what is the equalent api in
> log4j2.? FYI, we are overriding this method to set all our configurations
> like backup the old logfile, createnew logger, rolling etc..,
> # Also, we need to set the ConversionPattern based on the loggername, how we
> can achieve this.? in log4j1, we were extending patternLayout and overriding
> the format method to do the same. So how we can acheive this using log4j2?
>
> Thanks
