    Wildfly 9.0.1 Final - missing log information

    bzbit

      We have just installed our first Wildfly installation at a customer site. We modified the logging configuration in standalone.xml to use a size-rotating-file-handler. Wildfly is installed as a service (Windows 2003 Server) When the service starts the logging is fine and runs well for a while, however after a few hours the logging just stops although the application is still running. After a few hours of no logging the logging will just start up again and then run fine for a few more hours. The gap in the logs does not correlate with when the size rotation should take place. Our configuration is as follows:

       

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

                      <formatter>

                          <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>

                      </formatter>

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

                      <rotate-size value="10000k"/>

                      <max-backup-index value="10"/>

                      <append value="true"/>

          </size-rotating-file-handler>

       

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

          More information about this.

           

          When you install Wildfly as a service on Windows there are some logging parameters that set up separate logs for stdout, stderr, etc, in the service.bat file. I am not sure whether those logs were being written to properly as there does't seem to be a way to rotate them and they became too large. I removed the params for those from service.bat and now they are not being created, however the original logging problem still occurs. I can now reproduce this behavior on second system using the  <periodic-rotating-file-handler> as set up in the default standalone.xml provided in the distro.
