Rotating console.log

[mustaq.pradhan]

We are running JBoss EAP6.0 in domain configuration. I have configured sizing/rotating of the server logs at $JBOSS_HOME/domain/servers/<server-name>/server.log.

But for $JBOSS_HOME/domain/console.log I can not find a way to configure the same. Please help.

Is there any excepted best practice?

Thanks for the help.

There is no domain/console.log by default.

If you have done a domain.sh >domain/console.log this is a shell feature and you have no chance to rotate.

Or am I wrong?

Thanks for the reply.

Our system admins rolled out eap6 as a service and they are loggind teh std-out to this file.

I will talk to them to find a way to manage this, may be piping to be able to rotate.

Thanks again.

You might change the CONSOLE appender or even delete it as the FILE appender will have all logging.

For other reasons, i.e. ThreadDump or very hard errors it is necessary to keep the std-out file, but in this case there is no need for rotating
