Jboss 5.1.0 GA - Daily roll out of server.log, console log using Log4j DailyRollingFileAppender is not working.
Hi Everyone,
I have migrated my application server from Jboss 4.0.5 GA to Jboss 5.1.0 GA. I have Jboss5 configured as a windows service using 'service.bat' and 'jbosssvc.exe'.
The logs are directed to the files 'server.log' (JBOSS_HOME\server\all\log) and run.log (JBOSS_HOME\bin - console log file).
Since 'run.log' is created with a lock , i have redirected the console output to a new log file console.log in JBOSS_HOME\server\all\log.
In production setup, i need both the log files ( server.log,console.log) to be backed up every day using DailyRollingFileAppender.
This is fine with 4.0.5 version whereas it is not happening in 5.1.0 GA
Please help to get this resolved.
My Jboss-log4j.xml is as below, I have modified the 'CONSOLE'. 'FILE' appender remains the same.
Thanks in advance.
