Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-510:
------------------------------------
Logback has a sifting appender that is similar to the routing appender. Last I
checked it allowed an expire time and the files were closed if they weren't
accessed for that amount of time. I imagine we will need to do something
similar.

> Hi There,
> in log4j2 when the App start logging it create and open a file to log into
> and that file stay open as long as the App is running.
> in my case log4j2 create and open too many files base on ThreadContext and
> the OS (linux) will complaint that too many files are open and my App will
> crash and stop responding.
> My question is:
> 1 - how do you close those files with log4j2 if they are inactive for a
> period of time.
> 2 - How do you have access to the log4j2 handle that open those files.
> 3 - How do you tell log4j2 to open a file just for a period of time.
> Thanks
> Eric
