Automatically remove log-files

[carstenrudat]

Hi All,

is it possible to configure JBoss AS to remove log-files after a period of time? I use the DailyRollingFileAppender and I'd like to tell him to delete all logs after a month...

Thanks for help.

Hi,

I don't think JBoss has a feature for that. Instead you can use a RollingFileAppender like this:

 <appender name="LOGFILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="D:/logs/jboss-EJB.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="true"/>
 <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10000KB"/>
 <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="100"/>
 <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>

You need to figure out how much log output your server produces in a month.
