I need to create a new log file each time i start the JVM.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN">
<Appenders>
<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n" />
</Console>
<RollingFile name="roll-by-time" fileName="target/log4j2/roll-by-time/app.log"
filePattern="target/log4j2/roll-by-time/app.%d{MM-dd-yyyy-HH-mm}.log"
ignoreExceptions="false"
append="false">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %p %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Policies>
<OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
</Policies>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="trace">
<AppenderRef ref="Console" />
<AppenderRef ref="roll-by-time" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
I have tried this config, but all it does is it rewrites the file each time, but i need to make a new one with distinct filename, based on date and/or time.
Tried to insert %d{MM-dd-yyyy-HH-mm}
in the fileName
paramater, but it didn't work out.
Remove append="false"
from appender configuration or set to it true
-
<RollingFile name="roll-by-time" fileName="target/log4j2/roll-by-time/app.log"
filePattern="target/log4j2/roll-by-time/app.%d{MM-dd-yyyy-HH-mm}.log"
ignoreExceptions="false"
append="true">
