Using TimeBasedRollingPolicy in fuse logging

[shamik]

Hi,

   I'm looking to use Log4j TimeBasedRollingPolicy which rolls the log file every 24 hrs and have the option to zip it. I tried using it in the log configuration file, but looks like it doesn't support "org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender" package.

log4j.appender.out=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.out.rollingPolicy=TimeBasedRollingPolicy

log4j.appender.out.rollingPolicy.FileNamePattern=${karaf.data}/log/servicemix%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}.log

Is there any way to implement this? I'm trying to avoid writing my own custom rolling appender, create a bundle and attach it as a fragment to pax logging service.

Any pointer will be appreciated.

Can you give more points with "doesnt support"? Do you see any errors or anything in the logs etc.?

And do you have a link to log4j where that policy is documented? And is it part of the regular log4j JAR file?

Hi,

I don't think pax logging service support org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender, I'm afraid create your own custom rolling appender as fragment and attach it to the pax logging service is the way you should go.

Thanks freeman, I figured that too.

Fragment bundle is the way to go in this case.
