My ISP admin is setting up an app to consume and interperet my log files. He asked if I can have Tomcat spit out a single log file rather than breaking it up day by day but I am hesistent. To me it seems like a bad idea. First, I guess depending upon how Tomcat appends the file, couldn't it start to slow down as the file exponentially grows? Second, if there's any bad data it could throw of the whole log history, not just a single day. Third, if the file was to be damaged same thing. Fourth, it seems pruning the old data wouldn't be as easy.
But he seems to feel this would make setting up that app a lot easier. I don't know. Does anyone have any opinion in this regard? Also, how do you have it write to a single file? Is there some timestamp attribute I can set? I didn't see one? Thanks.
