Description:
I have log4j2.json config as below, with SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy as 1MB. Its
a web app hosted on tomcat 7.
{code}
{
"configuration": {
"status" : "info",
"shutdownHook":"disable",
"name": "lo",
"appenders": {
"RollingFile": {
"name": "rollingFile",
"fileName": "/var/log/cor/test_logging12.log",
"filePattern":
"/var/log/cor/test_logging12-%d{MM-dd-yy-HH-mm-ss}-%i.log.gz",
"CustomJSONLayout": {
"complete": false,
"compact": true,
"eventEol": true
},
"SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy": {
"size": "1 MB"
},
"DefaultRolloverStrategy": {
"max": "10"
}
}
},
"loggers": {
"root": {
"level": "DEBUG",
"appender-ref": {
"ref": "rollingFile"
}
}
}
}
}
{code}
When I changed that in on the fly, it is taken in account by log4j2, it still
rolls over on the older size. It reads the new size only if I restart the
server.

It would be great if the new size is read by the log4j2 before rolling over
just like the fileName or filePattern.
