             Summary: Changing append on a file handler indicates a reload is required when a restart is required
                 Key: WFCORE-548
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-548
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Logging
            Reporter: James Perkins
            Assignee: James Perkins


Changing the {{append}} attribute at runtime results in the following output:
{code}
[standalone at localhost:9990 /] /subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=FILE:write-attribute(name=append,value=false)
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "response-headers" => {
        "operation-requires-reload" => true,
        "process-state" => "reload-required"
    }
}
{code}

A {{reload}} operation does not stop a file from being appended to. Either the behavior needs to change or the {{process-state}} should be "restart-required".

The issue is likely the file name is checked during boot and hasn't changed therefore the it's not set which would cause the stream to the file to be closed and reopened without the append.
