How to roll the log file on startup in logback
- by Mike Q
Hi all,
I would like to configure logback to do the following.
Log to a file
Roll the file when it reaches 50MB
Only keep 7 days worth of logs
On startup always generate a new file (do a roll)
I have it all working except for the last item, startup roll. Does anyone know how to achieve that? Here's the config...
<appender name="File" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg \(%file:%line\)%n</Pattern>
</layout>
<File>server.log</File>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>server.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
<!-- keep 7 days' worth of history -->
<MaxHistory>7</MaxHistory>
<TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<MaxFileSize>50MB</MaxFileSize>
</TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
