Hello,
As suggested, I'm trying to reduce the ringbuffer size to 1024 or other
experimental values(even numbers). But log4j2 is taking the default
value 262144, even though I have added the system properties.
I have tried 3 ways,
1. Added VM argument as
-Dlog4j2.asyncLoggerRingBufferSize=102
197 KB for each log message!
That’s about 100-1000x larger than the average message size.
I would suggest having a much smaller ringbuffer, meaning fewer slots.
The system property that controls this is
log4j2.asyncLoggerRingBufferSize
The default is (256 * 1024), which is a lot. The minimum
There are JVM properties to reduce both the number of slot of the ring
buffer, and the maximum size of the StringBuilder used inside each slot.
Tuning these should help to lower the extra memory footprint. I don't
remember them (and cannot do the search right now) but they are documented
on log4j
