Hello we are using logback for our server. one issue keeps on happening for more than one year. We are using TimeBasedRollingPolicy, the logback works well when server starts and the log rolls according to size and date correctly. However it stops rolling after running for some time (1 or 2 weeks) and the log file become extremely huge, 1 or 2 GB. Recently I found it started when we copied logs from the server, then the rolling stop, the size of all the log files in the folder increase without stop. my logback configuration is as follows: <configuration scan="true" scanPeriod="300 seconds"> <appender name="DATAMGR_FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>../log/datamgr.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>../log/%d{yyyy-MM-dd,aux}/#%i.datamgr.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.zip</FileNamePattern> <maxHistory>60</maxHistory> <timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP"> <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize> </timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy> <cleanHistoryOnStart>true</cleanHistoryOnStart> </rollingPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}; [%thread]; %-5level; %class{30}.%method:%line; %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> <logger name="com.mwi.cad.datamgr" level="info" additivity="false"> <appender-ref ref="DATAMGR_FILE" /> </logger> </configuration> Anybody could give me some idea what I should do to solve this problem. Is there any work around I can do? any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated! -- Sent from: http://logback.10977.n7.nabble.com/Users-f3.html
