[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (LOGMGR-46) Boot log truncated during startup

[James Perkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-46?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12714355#comment-12714355 ] 

James Perkins commented on LOGMGR-46:
-------------------------------------

In JBoss Log Manager 1.2.x. With this version you would need to set the {{append}} property before setting the {{file}} property as the forum response suggests.

{code}
handler.BOOTLOG=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler
handler.BOOTLOG.level=DEBUG
handler.BOOTLOG.properties=append,autoFlush,fileName
handler.BOOTLOG.append=true
handler.BOOTLOG.autoFlush=true
handler.BOOTLOG.fileName=${myapp.logdir}/jboss_boot.log
handler.BOOTLOG.formatter=PATTERN
{code}

Note that in the above `handler.BOOTLOG.properties` the first attribute is `append`.

In JBoss Log Manager 1.3.x and higher there is a new `constructorProperties` property you could add.

{code}
handler.BOOTLOG=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler
handler.BOOTLOG.level=DEBUG
handler.BOOTLOG.properties=append,autoFlush,fileName
handler.BOOTLOG.constructorProperties=fileName,append
handler.BOOTLOG.append=true
handler.BOOTLOG.autoFlush=true
handler.BOOTLOG.fileName=${myapp.logdir}/jboss_boot.log
handler.BOOTLOG.formatter=PATTERN
{code}

For rotating there is a {{org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler}} and a {{org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.SizeRotatingFileHandler}}. Note though that in releases prior to 1.3.0 the {{PeriodicRotatingFileHandler}} doesn't rotate based on the file date, but up time.

> Boot log is truncated during jboss startup. There is no way to set the 'append' property in logging.properties. Moreover, logging.properties doesn't support log rotation to preserve boot log.
