JBOSS logs not seen after re-starting

[ran_sushmi]

I have a doubt that the JBOSS logs are not to be seen off before re-starting the server. Say, if I re-start the server at 10 A.M of the day, then the logs before 10 A.M are not seen but the jboss.log does get populated of the time after 10 A.M.

I hope, my question is clear.

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Your problem comes from your log4j.xml configuration.
If you want to keep the log before a restart of Jboss, you have to add this param :

<param name="Append" value="true"/>

For example :

<appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
 <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
 <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/>
 <param name="Append" value="true"/>

 <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>

 <!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
 <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
 -->

 <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
 <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>

 <!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
 <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
 -->
 </layout>
 </appender>
