rollingfileappender

I'm trying to switch from using FileAppender to the RollingFileAppender using log4j2 (happens both with beta3 and beta4 jars). I have it configured as: <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="${logdir}/${filename}" filePattern="${logdir}/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss}_%i.log" > <PatternLayout> <pattern>%d %p %C{1.} [%t] %m%n</pattern> </PatternLayout> <Policies> <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy/> </Policies> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="20"/> </RollingFile> ... <loggers> <root level="ERROR"> <appender-ref ref="RollingFile"/> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/> </root> ... and in the code, I'm trying to get

I have a Log4Net RollingFileAppender that is configured as: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/> </configSections> <log4net> <root> <level value="ALL" /> </root> <logger name="RollingFileAppender" additivity="false"> <level value="DEBUG"/> <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" /> </logger> <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" > <param name="File" value="C:\\MyLog.log" /> <param name="AppendToFile" value="true" /> <param name="DatePattern" value="yyyy-MM-dd"/>

I get this error "log4j:ERROR Failed to rename" in my tomcat server log. I have multiple DailyRollingFileAppender in my log4j XML. And each appender points to different file. Only once instance of the application is running. I used Handle utility and run the command (with log file name as parameter) handle -f ams-app.log and the result is Tomcat7.exe pid: 5032 type: File 54C: E:\apps\ams\logs\ams-app.log From this I assume there is only one lock on the file. My environment Windows Server 2008, tomcat 7.0 and Java 6 and slf4j-log4j12(1.5.6) This problem was not happening when same application

I am using log4j for logging, and a property file for configuration. Currently, my log files are too big (3.5 GB is too large for a log file). So think I need to use RollingFileAppender - but when I do so the log file continues to grow overly large. I believe I have just misconfigured it; does anyone have a working example of configuring RollingFileAppender? For the record, my current configuration looks like this: log4j.appender.MAIN_LOG.File=${catalina.base}/logs/webtop.log log4j.appender.MAIN_LOG=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.MAIN_LOG.layout=com.mycompany.util.log

I was trying to add the date to my log file name and I was able to make it work by following the few suggestions I've found in stackoverflow. Everything works fine but for some reason, the first file always has the date appended twice. For example, instead of log.2009-02-23.log , I get log.2009-02-23.log.2009-02-23.log . I found it so weird and fyi, this is a very simple code. It's not like I have it running in a multi-threaded environment. My log4net config: <log4net> <appender name="MyLog" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="../../Logs/Mylog"/> <staticLogFileName value=

I want my logfile to look something like this: 2009-02-13.log but the problem is that I can't seem to find any way to add the .log extension. I've tried a lot of things but nothing helps. This is what I have this far: <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="Logs/Log4Net/.log"/> <appendToFile value="true"/> <rollingStyle value="Date"/> <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline"/> </layout> </appender>
