--------------------------------
Summary: log files do not roll over on Windows platform
Key: NIFI-14729
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14729
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Mark Bean
When running NiFi on a Windows platform, the log files do not roll over
according to the settings in conf/logback.xml.
To reproduce, set the following for the nifi-app.log file (the first logger in
the file)
<maxFileSize>1MB</maxFileSize>
You may choose a smaller size as well; use something that will be reached in a
fairly short period of time. To help fill up the log, use a GenerateFlowFile ->
LogAttribute. Create FlowFiles up to 1MB. (Any FlowFiles larger will not be log
content to the log file.) And, set LogAttribute to log payload.
One possible reason a log file will not roll over is if there are other
processes which have the file open. When I used Windows Resource Monitor, I
discovered that there are two Java processes which are associated with the
nifi-app.log handle. It is my suspicion that this may be preventing the file
from being rolled. TBD.
