periodic-rotating-file-handler is not rotating on daily basis

[bharathiselvan]

Hi ,

I am using jboss-as-7.1.1.Final. Periodic Rotating File Handler is not rotating on daily basis. Am rebooting Jboss server on daily basis. If am not rebooting my server.log is generated properly.

Below is my Periodic Rotating File Handler,

<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">

                <formatter>

                <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>

                </formatter>

                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>

                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>

                <append value="true"/>

</periodic-rotating-file-handler>

Please guide me how to solve this.

Thanks,

Bharathi

In older versions of the log manager the date rotation algorithm used only the system time. As of org.jboss.logmanager:jboss-logmanager:1.3.0.Final the last modified date is used as the initial time. JBoss AS 7 shipped with 1.2.2.GA. I haven't tested, but you should be able to replace the log manager with a newer version and it should work fine.

See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-40 for more details on the issue.

Hi James,

I have updated the logmanager1.2.2.GA to jboss-logmanager-1.5.1.Final (latest version). I will check for next one week whether server.log is generating properly or not.

Thanks for your help.
