Re: Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

FYI - the documentation for the web site is in the project at src/site/xdoc/manual. You can create a patch for that the same way you would patch any of the java source. Ralph > On Apr 18, 2017, at 10:20 AM, Chandra > wrote: > > Hi Gary, > > I’d love

Re: Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

Hi Gary, I’d love to, but this ticket is primarily to change the documentation and it’d have a minor amendments in the document on the website. I’m not exactly sure how to send a patch to this :-/ 1) https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#DefaultRolloverStrategy

Re: Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

Yes, that’d be great.  7 seems to too low for frequently filled logs. And also guys, please document it. I am raising a JIRA ticket in this regards ( thanks Remko for the reminder). Also yes, I have set a default purge policy, this is 90 days in our use case. Best, Chandra On 12 Apr 2017, 12:07

Re: Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

I believe starting with 2.8.1 we no longer scan the directory so it is much faster. We could probably raise the default limit. Ralph > On Apr 11, 2017, at 11:12 AM, Remko Popma wrote: > > Sorry to hear that! > > You are right that the docs currently don't mention the

Re: Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

Sorry to hear that! You are right that the docs currently don't mention the default value for the max attribute. We should fix the docs. Can I ask you to raise a Jira for this? As for why not a large default value, there is a performance impact: all files within the range need to be renamed

Max index limit in DefaultRolloverStrategy

Hi guys, Something I noticed in my production, the maximum limit of index (i.e., the max #files to be rolled before an overwrite occurs) is 7 by default. This is not mentioned anywhere in any of the documentation. I was only able to confirm this by actually looking into the source code [1].
