The file is rotated *during* log events, and stalling to compress a log file is probably not a great solution. > Alternatively/preferably is there a way to put the access logging > under "log4j"? Also not really, but if you are willing to write code, you can do it. The AccessLogValve handles its own logging to a file, but if you were to subclass AccessLogValve and override the "open" method and assign a value to the AccessLogValve.writer member that writes to a log4j logger, then I think you could probably do this. I believe that log4j will stall your access log during the compression, though, so you might want to think about whether or not you want to implement it this way. What is your operating system? If it were me, I think I'd write a cron job to check the directory for uncompressed, rotated log files and compress them in a separate process. > I am on Tomcat 7.0.62 (no, do not tell me to update. I know. I want > to. But I am not allowed to. So, do not tell me. Please :-) You should upgrade :) Actually, 7.0.62 is pretty good. Most people say "I'm using Tomcat 7.0.13" or whatever. Your version is at least younger than my kids. You might want to make your decision makers aware of several important security issues with Tomcat 7.0.x that have been patched after the version you are using. Have a look at the changelog[1] specifically for versions 7.0.75 and 7.0.77. Depending upon your use of Tomcat's various features, versions 7.0.68, 7.0.70, 7.0.73, and 7.0.78 might be concerning to you. - -chris [1] http://tomcat.apache.org/security-7.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZg1phAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYLy0P/jzNNe/5dCzCZSpwkkKobamt /eroSyMkR+8CiU2i6AbnGrXmhqDUsif3UQJgBik76wscK9V+BqCatcLEMxY2R9Yu 1EOFAexBwC3mhjwXJLjxITMiECmIEhvwxykb+n7EbXQ+OP7xA7b6MHoGAKjXKc8v KFnnSKUr90D9tRYjGoKqPdDYaaVjo7qZVx6kHwLCl3aw+NGlrDMlzQYkY/mQzaBc IDO3YhbQss39GDLGrdF02kNuDkK6xwbikSvObwS7dbA2suGyUUyfweU5AA8BkUi0 hrvwgfMuHJFxKF++LiR2AJDga+qpT+3cYt06wzTc4bNjk7FLrnF5s6Y624nddoPV 9kzfuhSoTWA4xWlX8pIOMkx9B7TrDZT/Y2hnnUZuvBDQLpvgM4qtWgRS/CR+4l+0 0ScxLLwzTHeZGLnjut7bN1JLjDUopt4Su+loPeO11AfFbkhhEbrk42RM68Q4FzfP 2cnHK+lKGHhwhrFIiw5l7cpir4UJyuFjM1Bz9AJ98xnpROqbYXTeSfwMpSZfLAf2 pANppcqc0HczZvSJY9BfxY9UCgoLVGc9UeUd1NV5ecb57GkEcElXriHBAPOonrbQ 0xCNLp1f6gLIWzpwrrBSMPe61x6zJMxl0pb3c6jpKnDUQnCeoP4YK9rERYv2giw1 fUEQn+EFIqRfNuKmKt5j =fZ5s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
