-------------------------------
Summary: RollingFileAppender with SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy does
not work properly with large size limits
Key: LOG4J2-2501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2501
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Appenders
Affects Versions: 2.8.2
Environment: Log4j v.2.8.2 with SLF4J v.1.7.21. Currently running Java
version 1.8.0_161.
Reporter: Raphael
Attachments: log4j2.xml
My application uses a RollingFileAppender with a SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy in
which logs should roll over once they reach 50MB in size. However, if the logs
exceed this size while the application is running they do not roll over. Only
when the application is restarted do the logs get rolled over if they are too
big.
If the size limit is set to 50KB, or 5MB, the rolling over works fine. It seems
like only for large size limits like 50MB that this problem occurs. I've
attached my log4j2.xml config file to this issue.
Here is a snippet containing the RollingFileAppender config:
{code:xml}
<RollingFile
append="true"
name="rootfile"
fileName="/logs/root.log"
filePattern="/logs/root.%i.log">
<DefaultRolloverStrategy fileIndex="min" max="10"/>
<Policies>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="50000 KB"/>
</Policies>
<PatternLayout pattern="[%d{ISO8601}]%5p[%t]%x - %C.%M(%F:%L) - %m%n"/>
</RollingFile>
{code}
