generating server.log files of fixed size

[swaminathan17]

Hi,

Is there a way to limit the size of server.log generated by jboss. So that it creates a new file without overriding the previous. This helps as the size of the files is easy to use.
At the moment jboss creates a single file whose size becomes to large to handle.

thanks.

In log4j.properties

### The server.log file appender

log4j.appender.Default=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.Default.File=../log/server.log
log4j.appender.Default.MaxFileSize=500KB
log4j.appender.Default.MaxBackupIndex=1

This keeps one active log server.log
and the previous full one server.log.1
Adjust the file size and number of backups to taste.

Also, try the following if you don't want debug
logging
log4j.appender.Default.Threshold=INFO

Regards,
Adrian
