Wildfly 9 - log configuration

[dominique_claes]

Is there a property that can be set to the handler 'periodic-rotating-file-handler' so that the server log isn't overwritten for that day when the server reboots?

So I want multiple server logs from the same day every time the server reboots.

Or does a future Wildfly release support such an option?

My current configuration is the following:

<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
     <level name="INFO"/>
     <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>
<formatter name="PATTERN">
     <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%e%n"/>
</formatter>

You could use a periodic-size-rotating-file-handler which allows for rotation on boot. One thing to note is on WildFly 9 it seems to rotate the file twice during boot. This seems to be fixed in WildFly 10 however.

/subsystem=logging/periodic-size-rotating-file-handler=test:add(rotate-on-boot=true, append=true, autoflush=true, max-backup-index=20, suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd", named-formatter=PATTERN, file={relative-to=jboss.server.log.dir, path="test.log"})
/subsystem=logging/root-logger=ROOT:add-handler(name=test)
