size of boot.log file in jboss 6.x get out of control


I am using jboss-6.1.0.Final, when I start my server, log file(boot.log) size getting increased and increased its 16GB first time.

I stop my application server and again start but issue still persist....! and size of file is 20GB and again 16GB.

I google lot...! I found below property in {JBOSS_HOME}\server\server_name\deploy\jboss-logging.xml for server.log .

   <size-rotating-file-handler
         file-name="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"
         name="FILE"
         autoflush="true"
         append="true"
         rotate-size="500k"
         max-backup-index="2">

      <error-manager>
         <only-once/>
      </error-manager>

      <formatter>
         <pattern-formatter pattern="%d %-5p [%c] (%t) %m%n"/>
      </formatter>
   </size-rotating-file-handler>

I change

file-name="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"

to

file-name="${jboss.server.log.dir}/boot.log"

but its not working... Is it right way to do so...? or any other way to achieve same

This is my jboss-logging.xml

How can I control the size of boot.log file

Anyone facing same.... thanks...!


Solution

  • In logging.properties change your handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.FileHandler

    to handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.SizeRotatingFileHandler
