[Tomcat Wiki] Trivial Update of "FAQ/Logging" by KonstantinKolinko

[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

The "FAQ/Logging" page has been changed by KonstantinKolinko:

Comment:
Correct several typos, add link to Commons Daemon

  
   * Prior to Tomcat 5.5, Tomcat provided a Logger element that you could configure and extend according to your needs.
   * Starting with Tomcat 5.5, Logger was removed and [[http://commons.apache.org/logging/|Apache Commons-Logging]] {{{Log}}} is used everywhere in Tomcat. Read the Commons-Logging documentation if you'd like to know how to better use and configure Tomcat's internal logging. See also http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html
-  * In Tomcat 7 (and also 6), the logging code is based on a set of classes interacting with the [[http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html|java.util.logging API]] (JUL), which comes with Java since version 1.4. The Tomcat startup script configures the JVM to uses a web-application-aware implementation of the [[http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html|JUL LogManager]]. This Tomcat logging infrastructure is called JULI, and one can still distinguish its Apache Commons Logging heritage, but the complex configuration has been edited out and the package name changed.

  If you really must rotate catalina.out, here are some techniques you can use:
  
-  1. If you are using jsvc 1.0.4 or later to launch Tomcat, you can send SIGUSR1 to jsvc to get it to re-open its log files ([[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-95|Jira Ticket]]). You can couple this with 'logrotate' or your favorite log-rotation utility (including good-old 'mv') to re-name catalina.out at intervals and then get jsvc to re-open the original (catalina.out) file and continue writing to it.
+  1. If you are using jsvc 1.0.4 or later (from [[http://commons.apache.org/daemon/|Apache Commons Daemon]] project) to launch Tomcat, you can send SIGUSR1 signal to jsvc to get it to re-open its log files ([[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-95|Jira Ticket]]). You can couple this with 'logrotate' or your favorite log-rotation utility (including good-old 'mv') to re-name catalina.out at intervals and then get jsvc to re-open the original (catalina.out) file and continue writing to it.
   1. Use 'logrotate' with the 'copytruncate' option. This allows you to externally rotate catalina.out without changing anything within Tomcat.
-  1. Modify bin/catalina.sh/.bat to pipe output from the JVM into a piped-logger such as [[http://www.cronolog.org/|chronolog]] or Apache httpd's [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped|rotatelogs]] (note that the previous reference is for Apache httpd documentation and *is not applicable to Tomcat* -- it merely illustrates the concept).
