server.log gets deleted every time jboss server starts up

[naalayak]

Every time when I start the JBoss server it overwrite to the server.log logs rather appending the logs...
Is there any config change I can do to append the log rather overwrite...


Thx,

Logging is configured using Log4j, the configuration file is located in {jboss.home}/server/default/conf (Assuming you are using default configuration).

Within the file you should see that the FILE appender has the 'Append' parameter set to false, you need to change this to true.

How do you confgure JBoss keep the server.log file after every server startup? In separate files, like for example server.log09272005.

Use org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender in place of RollingFileAppender.

Example
*******
< appender name="File" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingAppender >
< param name="FILE" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log.server.log}/>
< param name="Append" value="false"/>
< param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
<!-- Rollover at midnight -->
< param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<!-- Rollover at top of each hour -->
< param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
<!-- Remaing elements after this should be the same as RollingAppender -->
< /appender>
