stdout.log file growing very quickly.
Hello, We're using Tomcat 4.1 and we have a problem where the logs\stdout.log grows very quickly. I was wondering if you had any advice to offer? What would be ideal is if we could have the properties of org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger to create a new log every new day. I've searched the internet, and could not find anything about stdout.log and this problem, other than to keep clearing the file down manually. Thanks in advance. Dan.

RE: stdout.log file growing very quickly.
Howdy, Why is it growing so fast? You have several options, all of which have been discussed on the list in the past. They include: - Using an external program like logrotate to rotate the stdout log for you. - Adding swallowOutput=true to your context so that stdout/stderr output from those webapps goes to their servlet log, which tomcat rotates for you nightly.

Re: stdout.log file growing very quickly.
another question on this topic which has long puzzled me: is tomcat being changed over to commons-logging to output log statements? Or is it all configured going to remain controlled by the debug attributes of nodes in server.xml? If I set all those debug attributes to 0, will tomcat become totally silent?

RE: stdout.log file growing very quickly.
Howdy, another question on this topic which has long puzzled me: is tomcat being changed over to commons-logging to output log statements? It would be good to start a different mailing list thread when you have a different (albeit related) question ;) Or is it all configured going to remain controlled by the debug attributes of nodes in server.xml? If I set all those debug attributes to 0, will tomcat become totally silent? Tomcat is already mostly switched over to commons logging. Some things are still controlled by the debug attributes in server.xml. Setting all those to zero will not make tomcat completely silent. You're welcome to contribute patches to convert remaining parts of tomcat to use commons-logging.

If so, then presumably there is a logging properties config file somewhere, which the original poster could configure so that less output goes to the console? In that case, this 'swallowOutput' attribute, that causes output to be directed to the daily logs, will cause many log entries to be duplicated in that log?

You're welcome to contribute patches to convert remaining parts of tomcat to use commons-logging. I must either stop trying to do so much or be more efficient at what I am doing before I can launch into helping at tomcat. But it would be nice to take part. I am actually contributing patches at ant, but they seem to have hordes of people contributing diverse patches which they (seem to imho) wish they didn't have. Guess it's the broad nature of ant's functionality. Adam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tomcat 4 to a lesser extent than tomcat 5. You can add a configuration file if you wish to customize logging. You can put it in $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes or /common/classes so that it affects tomcat.

Guess it's the broad nature of ant's functionality. I feel pretty safe saying tomcat doesn't have the same problem. Just make sure to properly categorize your patch as an enhancement. I can't speak for other developers, but for one get annoyed (and therefore less likely to act upon) a minor enhancement request submitted as a Blocker severity level issue ;) Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
