At the moment i'm searching for a way to automatically compress/zip my logfiles, after WildFly (8.1.0.Final) "archived" them, as it was possible in older JBoss version. My configuration currently looks like this:
[...]
<profile>
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:2.0">
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
<formatter> <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/></formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
<suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/> <append value="true"/>
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>
[...]
While trying to respect this: http://wildscribe.github.io/Wildfly/8.1.0.Final/subsystem/logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler/index.html there seems to be no trace of any compression.
My main goal is to NOT use an external tool for compression that works outside of WildFly.
It's not currently possible but there is a JIRA open for it https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-30.
