Hi everyone,

 

one of our services is currently using a plain RollingFileAppender for logging to the file system.

 

A new requirement just popped up, which demands

to add a specific headline in each log file (on top of it)

to only add this information once (e.g. if my service gets restarted and logback picks up a pre-existing log-file)

not to automatically roll-over to a new log file if my service gets restarted (time windows and log-files need to correlate) – still only 1 headline per file.

 

I think this would be best solved on logback-configuration level, but I am not sure how.

I hope this is not an entirely uncommon need. - Maybe you can help.

 

Thanks a ton!

-Tom
