We just recently upgraded our tomcat from 7 to 9 after upgrading we are having issue with our log rotation. We are using default tomcat log file (tomcat.log).
Our Log4j configuration:
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, console, INFO
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.conversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p - %m%n
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, fileLogger
log4j.appender.fileLogger=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.fileLogger.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.fileLogger.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.fileLogger.File=tomcat.log
log4j.appender.fileLogger.MaxFileSize=10KB
log4j.appender.fileLogger.MaxBackupIndex=5
Issue we are facing is our log file does not rotate until we restart our tomcat and if the file rotate log stops printing in the log file until we restart tomcat server.

I am using probe along with tomcat. My application which is deployed in tomcat 8.5 use log4j for its logging.
This is Log4j.properties configuration :
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL = DEBUG, file
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type = TRACE, file
# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=${catalina.base}/logs/my-app.log
log4j.appender.file.Append=true
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
log4j.appender.file.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.file.rollingPolicy.ActiveFileName=${catalina.base}/logs/my-app.log
log4j.appender.file.rollingPolicy.FileNamePattern=${catalina.base}/logs/archive/my-app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz
Everything is fine and i could fine my logs, but when the server restart i lost everything.
It seams like probe delete the log file after reboot
Am i missing something in the configuration on my application or even in the prob side?
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file
# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Redirect log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
#outputs to Tomcat home
log4j.appender.file.File=${catalina.home}/logs/my-app.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
can you check above code?
put all properties in your log4j properties file
i'm running Apache Tomcat 7.0.59 on a OpenSuse Leap 42.2 with Java 1.8.0_65 and have several webapplications deployed. Some of them are my own, and some of them are third-party.
Some webapps come with a log4j.properties file in their classpath. Now i want to have one global log4j.properties file which overrides all others so i can aggregate all logging information into one big my-tomcat.log file.
What i did was add the VM flag -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///path/to/my/custom-log4j.properties to tomcat's setenv.sh file which basically works great. Now i have my own my-tomcat.log file which contains all logging information.
But here is the problem: the "old" log files are still written. It seems that log4j is still reading all the app-specific log4j.properties files.
for example my custom-log4j.properties file looks like this:
# Set root logger level to error
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, File
###### Console appender definition #######
# All outputs currently set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# use log4j NDC to replace %x with tenant domain / username
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %x %-5p [%c{3}] [%t] %m%n
#log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] %m%n
###### File appender definition #######
log4j.appender.File.Threshold=INFO
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=eWork.log
log4j.appender.File.Append=true
log4j.appender.File.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd} %d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] [%t] %m%n
One of my webapps logging files looks like this:
# Set root logger level to error
log4j.rootLogger=error, Console, File
###### Console appender definition #######
# All outputs currently set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# use log4j NDC to replace %x with tenant domain / username
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} %x %-5p [%c{3}] [%t] %m%n
#log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] %m%n
###### File appender definition #######
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=alfresco.log
log4j.appender.File.Append=true
log4j.appender.File.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd} %d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] [%t] %m%n
both my-tomcat.log as well as alfresco.log are created. Also the catalina.out file is written although i have not added the console appender in my custom-log4j.properties. However the contents of catalina.out is quite small.
Do you have any ideas how to completely override any log4j.properties files from all webapps?
Thank you very much for any help and have a nice day!
i have an application, i have applied log4j, but i can't able to create log file inside jboss application.
when i put absolute path of system in log4j.appender.file.File= D:/log/application.log it was working fine but when i put log4j.appender.file.File= ${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/application.log it is not working.
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file
# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
#log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File= ${jboss.server.home.dir}/log/application.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=5KB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
try using $JBOSS_HOME instead of ${jboss.server.home.dir}.. so it becomes
log4j.appender.file.File= ${JBOSS_HOME }/log/application.log
I want implement log4j to my java project. I put the jar in lib folder and configure log4j.properties file. Logs successfuly shows in console, but I can't see that logs in SYSLOG app (KSYSLOG) of my kubuntu. this is my properties file:
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, SYSLOG, file
# Redirect log messages to console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
what is incorrect in this properties file or what I do incorrect?
I found the solutin in this thread Writing log data to syslog using log4j
we must add
$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514
to rsyslog.conf and restart rsyslog
CXF responses are not getting logged in the log file although its displayed in the console.
Here is my log4j.properties

I am using log4j 1.2.17 and CXF version of 2.7.4, slf4j version of 1.6.1
What I really want to know is how the outgoing and incoming webservice requests are logged by cxf, do we need to set up interceptors for it?
-Thanks
