In installed Artemis broker logging.properties, i have included below configuration to setup log rotate
# File handler configuration
handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.FILE.level=DEBUG
handler.FILE.properties=suffix,append,autoFlush,fileName
# for log rotate
handler.FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm
handler.FILE.append=true
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.fileName=${artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log
handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN
## Added for Log rotate
handler.FILE.rotate-size=25k
handler.FILE.max-backup-index=3
handler.FILE.rotate-on-boot=true
With above change when i restart the Artemis broker service, is notice the log being rotated to artemis.log.2021-09-02-14
But with the rotate-size 25k, the file is not getting rotated.
Below is the jboss documentation for the properties.
| properties | data type | description |
|---|---|---|
| max-backup-index | Integer | The maximum number of size-rotated logs that are kept. When this number is reached, the oldest log is reused. Default: 1. This setting only applies to logs that are rotated based on file size. Note that if a file is rotated with a date format suffix, it will not be purged using the max-backup-index option. |
| rotate-size | String | The maximum size that the log file can reach before it is rotated. |
My expectation in this case would be:
artemis.log
artemis.log.2020-09-02-16
artemis.log.2020-09-02-15
artemis.log.2020-09-02-14
purged files
artemis.log.2020-09-02-13
Is there a way to check how often the log rotation is triggered by Artemis broker?
Is the configuration incorrect.
Using Artemis 2.17 version After updating the properties, i am getting below exception on restarting the service.

may be i need to check the source code.
It was the default logging.properties which i used

There's a handful of problems with your configuration.
org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicSizeRotatingFileHandler. Currently you're using org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler which will only rotate based on time.- characters when you should be using camel case like the rest of the properties. I believe this is because you're reading the documentation from JBoss EAP which has a slightly different configuration format than the plain properties-based configuration used by ActiveMQ Artemis.properties configuration for the FILE handler.k which isn't supported in the plain properties-based configuration used by ActiveMQ Artemis.Try using this instead:
handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicSizeRotatingFileHandler
handler.FILE.level=DEBUG
handler.FILE.properties=suffix,append,autoFlush,fileName,rotateSize,maxBackupIndex,rotateOnBoot
handler.FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm
handler.FILE.append=true
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.fileName=${artemis.instance}/log/artemis.log
handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN
handler.FILE.rotateSize=25600
handler.FILE.maxBackupIndex=3
handler.FILE.rotateOnBoot=true
