Martijn Buijs commented on LOGCXX-464: -------------------------------------- Just for completeness, an extract from my xml config: {code:xml} <appender name="rollingfile" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <param name="append" value="true" /> <param name="bufferedio" value="true" /> <rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <param name="FileNamePattern" value="%d{yyyyMMdd.HH}.log"/> </rollingPolicy> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> <param name="conversionpattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%-30.30c:%5L] %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> {code} > TimeBasedRollingPolicy should append as configured on rollover > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOGCXX-464 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-464 > Project: Log4cxx > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appender > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Environment: Win32, Linux > Reporter: Martijn Buijs > > I'm using log4cxx 0.10.0 configured through xml to use a RollingFileAppender > that rolls/triggers using a TimeBasedRollingPolicy. > * The append property on the RollingFileAppender is true. > * The FileNamePattern of the TimeBasedRollingPolicy is set to use the > following pattern: {code}%d{yyyyMMdd.HH}.log{code} > This setup I use in an embedded system that is not directly connected to the > internet and has no battery powered rtc. This means that the system time is > always 1970-01-01 01:00:00 at boot, normally time is synchronized by the user > after boot. > In this case the following situation can occur: > # Current time is 2016-04-05 15:20:00, my application is logging to > {code}20160405.15.log{code} > # User restarts the system, time is now 1970-01-01 01:00, my application > starts at boot and starts logging to {code}19700101.01.log{code} > # User synchronizes time to 2016-04-05 15:25:00. Now the application > truncates {code}20160405.15.log{code} and start writing logs to it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
