[logback-user] Logback daily rollover and on every server startup

6 Nov 2012

      Hi,

With logback, is there a way to do daily Rollover AND also rollover on
every server restart?
I also wanted rollover based on Size, but I have seen an issue already
reported about this being a bug. If not, what is the best way to do this?

My setup:
For daily rollover I am using the following pattern:
* ....
<file>${jetty.home}/logs/testapp.${dateStr}.log</file>
....
**
<fileNamePattern>${jetty.home}/logs/testapp.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.${timeStr}</fileNamePattern>

where dateStr and timeStr are defined as:
*

*<timestamp key="dateStr" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd"
timeReference="contextBirth"/>
<timestamp key="timeStr" datePattern="HHmmssSSS"
timeReference="contextBirth"/>

Also, I have the following triggering policy:*
*<timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="utils.
LogbackLogTriggeringPolicy"/>

*

*LogbackLogTriggeringPolicy.java is:*
*@NoAutoStart
public class LogbackLogTriggeringPolicy<E> extends
DefaultTimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy<E> {
  @Override
      public void start() {
          super.start();
          nextCheck = 0L;
*
*           isTriggeringEvent(null, null);
          try {
              tbrp.rollover();
          } catch (RolloverFailure e) {
              //Do nothing
          }
      }
}

With the above *LogbackLogTriggeringPolicy I am able to achieve rollover on
server startup but daily rollover is not working. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
