[ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.i... ] Greg Thomas commented on LBCORE-147: ------------------------------------ I'm still worried about relying on the application to log frequently; Unless I've missed something ... a) It means two different file deletion mechanisms to maintain within LBCORE; one at startup, one at rollover time. b) The application will have to parse the logging configuration, and determine the current logging level and frequency to determine if a new log entry has of sufficient level has occurred sufficiently recently, and then create a "please ignore this" log entry at a high enough level to trigger a new rollover. c) Any application checking for log entries to alarm will need to be altered to ignore the "please ignore this" log entry.
RollingPolicy MaxHistory not deleting old files -----------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-147 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-147 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Rolling Affects Versions: 0.9.18 Environment: linux 2.6.18 64bits apache-tomcat-6.0.20 java/jre1.6.0_18 Reporter: Rafael Diaz Maurin Assignee: Ceki Gulcu Attachments: TimeBasedRollingWithArchiveRemovalTest.java
The MaxHistory does not do the trick : the old files are not deleted at all : cat logging.xml <appender name="IDP_ACCESS" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <File>/shibboleth-idp/logs/idp-access.log</File> <Append>false</Append> <ImmediateFlush>true</ImmediateFlush> <RollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>/shibboleth-idp/logs/old/idp-access-%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log.gz</FileNamePattern> <MaxHistory>3</MaxHistory> </RollingPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender>
