RE: [SCL-2] Re: Multiple log files, multiple logger names and the same appender
Hope to revive this thread. Is there any way to use the feature I have described. 1. Use the logger hierarchy like Heri had suggested. 2. Use a separate logger file for each logger in the hierarchy.

RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy
Hi there, Is there some param i can set in the log4j.xml to have the TimeBasedRollingPolicy delete old files after x days? Im sorry if this is handled in the doco and Im too stupid to find it :) Cheers, Corey - To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
Re: RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy
Corey, I couldn't find a way to do that either. I made some changes to the DailyRollingFileAppender class to meet my needs. See the attachment. This class creates a new log file each day. The log file is in the user directory. Yesterday's log file is renamed, and then 6 total log files are retained. The maxBackupIndex field controls how many log files are retained.

Re: [SCL-2] Re: Multiple log files, multiple logger names and the same appender
I think for what you want (separate file/logger), you'll need to write a custom appender unless Bender Heri's suggestion suffices for you.

Re: RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy
Not that I can see. I think a FixedWindowRollingPolicy + SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy would do what you need. Of course, it won't roll based on time, but on size. Basically, you'd get a maximum backup of 12 (or less depending on what you configure) archived log files, which is hardly different than deleting old files. That said, you might be able to [ab]use a FilterBasedTriggeringPolicy to trigger rolling based on time (and/or size). Note that I have not tested this myself. It would be interesting to learn of your results.

Re: RollingFileAppender + TimeBasedRollingPolicy
The TimeAndSizeRollingAppenderat www.simonsite.org.uk might do the trick by configuration. You can configure a time-based rolling schedule via a date pattern. There's also a scavenger built-in that will delete older backup log files beyond a particular count. So if you configure the appender to roll daily, and set the max backup count to the number of days you're interested in, the scavenger will delete the files you no longer want. The scavenger runs in a daemon thread so you don't have backup log files being maintained at the point of rollover of the current log file.

Re: [SCL-2] Re: Multiple log files, multiple logger names and the same appender
Ok. Will try. I think you mean that in order to associate a file name with each logger in the hierarchy instead of the appender I need to write a custom appender. Am I on the right track then ? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Multiple-log-files%2C-multiple-logger-names-and-the-same-appender-tp28024737p29968873.html Sent from the Log4j - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-user-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-user-h...@logging.apache.org
