Hello Luciano, You can't set the 30 minute threshold. However, you can force immediate removal of nested FileAppender via SiftingAppender's tracker. Here is the code: SiftingAppende siftingAppender = ... AppenderTracer tracker = siftingAppender.getAppenderTracker(); tracker.stopAndRemoveNow(aKey); where 'aKey' is the discriminator value used for the nested FileAppender.

Hi guys,
I read the SiftingAppender's documentation and saw the following line: "... Appenders unused for 30 minutes will be automatically closed and discarded. ..."
My question is if i can confiugure this time?
I want to use SiftingAppender to create one file per "request", but one request can take some minutes to get finished and the whole system writes stuff about one particular request. It's such a trace log. As I can have lots of requests, i'm afraid of get a TooManyOpenFiles IOException during this 30 minutes interval. Does this fear proceed?
Thanks and sorry for the english. -- Luciano Davoglio Molinari
