Please verify and close if it works for you. > Log4j2 rolling policy > --------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-907 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Environment: windows 7 enterprise > Reporter: Clement Caylux > Assignee: Ralph Goers > Fix For: 2.8 > > Attachments: log4j2.xml > > > I am using log4j2 and a rolling file appender, to roll file based on size and > time. See my attached config file config file and the following snippet: > {code:xml} > <RollingFile name="RollingFile" > filename="log/$${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log" > filePattern="log/%d{dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/Roll-%i.log"> > <PatternLayout> > <Pattern>%d{ISO8601}{GMT} %p %c{1.c} [%t] %m%n</Pattern> > </PatternLayout> > <Policies> > <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1"/> > <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="3KB"/> > </Policies> > </RollingFile> > {code} > My problem is that my current log (currentRoll.log) file is in the folder > that was first created when the program started. I would need it to be in the > last. So for example if I start running the program at 1pm on November 25th, > 2014 , and at 3pm I want to look at the current logs they would not be in the > 25-11-2014-15 folder but in the 25-11-2014-13 folder. > My guess is that the date in the filename is not resolved dynamically. I have > tried using monitorInterval to poll for auto reconfiguration but did not have > any luck. I also tried using a '$$' in > {code:xml} > filename="log/$${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log" . > {code} > but got the following error: > {code} > ERROR Unable to create file log/${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log > java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is > incorrect > {code} > Any suggestion? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
