Hi Emmanuel, The filename pattern needs to match with the rolling policy. You omitted that line in your snippet, but by default, the nifi-app looks like this: <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy">
SizeAndTimeBased means you have to use both %d (time) and %i (size). If you only want to use one of those, change the policy to TimeBased or SizeBased. In your example, you left out the %i, so it will be invalid for the default policy. Change the policy to TimeBasedRollingPolicy (like the user file has) to make it work. You can also add “debug=true” to the <configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="30 seconds"> tag, but that only takes effect if you submit a valid configuration, so you may need to revert to the original one first. With debug on, you’ll find more feedback in the logfile.

To do this, I’ve updated ‘conf/logback.xml’ file by this default configuration: <appender name="APP_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> … <fileNamePattern>${org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.config.log.dir}/nifi-app_%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH}.%i.log</fileNamePattern> … </appender> To this one <appender name="APP_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> … <fileNamePattern>${org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.config.log.dir}/nifi-app_%d.log.gz</fileNamePattern> … </appender> However, since I’ve updated `conf/logback.xml`, nifi-appl.log is not updated anymore and not new file is created. I’ve tried different patterns and the following are working ok (log append to nifi-app.log): 1. 'nifi-app_%d.%i.log.gz' 2. 'nifi-app_%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH}.%i.log.gz' But either 'nifi-app_%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH}.log.gz' nor nifi-app_%d.log.gz are working. It there a reason for that? Sounds like the ‘%i’ in the fileNamePattern is required, whereas it is not the case for ‘nifi-user.log’ for example, this configuration ‘nifi-app_%d.log.gz’ is working ok, logs are appended into ‘nifi-user.log’ Thanks for any help Emmanuel C2 - Restricted # " Ce courriel et les documents qui lui sont joints peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles, être soumis aux règlementations relatives au contrôle des exportations ou ayant un caractère privé.
