[wildfly-dev] Proposal: Option to disable FileAuditLogHandler log rotation

[Tomas Hofman]

Hello,

currently FileAuditLogHandler rotates audit-log.log file during every 
start up (or reload) and there is no option to turn this behavior off. 
This clashes with users who want to use f.i. logrotate to perform log 
rotation [1].

Apart from FileAuditLogHandler, there are also 
PeriodicRotatingFileAuditLogHandler and SizeRotatingFileAuditLogHandler 
available, which perform the log rotation on regular interval resp. file 
size basis.

I would like to introduce an attribute "rotate-at-startup" into 
FileAuditLogHandler definition which would allow to disable this 
behavior, so the log file would be appended instead of rotated.

Is that a bad idea for some reason?
