------------------------------------------------------------

How about writing an Appender which would somehow be able to receive an event from arquillian, upon which it would shift the log file, like *RollingAppender's do.

For example: Arquillian could set a system property with the name of the test being run. The appender would shift the files when this property changed. That could be changed through AS management: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/CLI+Recipes
{code:xml}
/system-property=arq.runningTest:add(value=org.jboss.as.test.foo.BarTestCase)
{code}

> What's the best way to separate server and client log messages?
> Currently, any output is redirected to Surefire. Which only creates one output.
> So, either arq can log to an arbitrary file, or surefire could have support for multiple logs.
> The later won't happen any soon I guess Arq just forwards anything to surefire.
> So, let's say I want to have separated log files in surefire-reports dir:
> * org.jboss.FooBarTestCase-client,
> * org.jboss.FooBarTestCase-server1,
> * org.jboss.FooBarTestCase-server2, ...
> This feature is quite important for large testsuites which produce tons of log messages,
> and even more for multi-node tests.
