[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - Re: Help with JBOSS Log Configuration

[johnloo]

Sorry! Unfamiliar with this BBS... Let me try again..:

I am having a problem re-configuring the JBOSS log files. I am running 4.0.1SP1. I had the log files configured like this, which pretty much is the config supplied by the third-party app vendor:

  |  <!-- A time/date based rolling appender -->
  |    <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender">
  |       <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
  |       <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/server.log"/>
  |       <param name="Append" value="false"/>
  | 
  |       <!-- Rollover at midnight each day -->
  |       <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd"/>
  | 
  |       <!-- Rollover at the top of each hour
  |       <param name="DatePattern" value="'.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
  |       -->
  | 
  |       <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  |          <!-- The default pattern: Date Priority [Category] Message\n -->
  |          <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
  | 
  |          <!-- The full pattern: Date MS Priority [Category] (Thread:NDC) Message\n
  |          <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5r %-5p [%c] (%t:%x) %m%n"/>
  |           -->
  |       </layout>
  |    </appender> 
  | 
  | 

This produced daily log files, and only a little bit of boot.log output. I decided that I wanted a size-based logging system, so I altered the log4j.xml file to remove the above, and substituted this:


  |    <!-- A size based file rolling appender   -->
  |    <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
  |      <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
  |      <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/server.log"/>
  |      <param name="Append" value="true"/>
  |      <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10MB"/>
  |      <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="25"/>
  | 
  |      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  |        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
  |      </layout>	    
  |    </appender>
  | 

After saving the log4j.xml file, I restarted the JBOSS server. Now, I get no server log files, only a boot.log file that seems to be growing at the rate of 2MB / min. 

What am I missing?? Something simple, I'm sure. TIA for the help!
