Logging Requirement in Tomcat 5.5.16
Hi,
I am using Log4j logging in Tomcat 5.5.16 with JDK 1.5.0 update 7 on RedHat
Linux server.
I followed the instructions on
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html to copy the
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar and log4j.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
directory.
and created log4j.properties in $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes directory as
below:
log4j.rootLogger=info, CATALINA
log4j.appender.CATALINA=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.CATALINA.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.CATALINA.File=${catalina.home}/logs/catalina.out
log4j.appender.CATALINA.threshold=info
log4j.appender.CATALINA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CATALINA.layout.ConversionPattern=%d:%p %c{2} - %m%n
After couple of days, I saw some catalina.out files suffix with ".x.gz",
where x is number range from 1 to 30. May I know to get rid of these files?
I only want log4j to handle the file rotation as configured in
log4j.properties.
Thank you.
Regards,
SamKong Goo

Thanks Andre,
I saw there is a script doing zip in /etc. I am new to Linux, :-).

Tomcat does not create gzipped logfiles.
I would venture that the most likely candidate for this is that you have
a logrotate script which runs under cron from time to time, and which
does it.
If you are under Linux, start with the /etc directory and look for
anything that mentions logrotate, maybe starting in the /etc/cron.*
directories.

Hi Pid,
My answer below.
I saw the same file names in another server (not implement log4j yet), that
server is running on default logging (Tomcat Juli).
I think Tomcat by default created those extra zip files, I would like to
know how to disable that.

(I need a coffee.)
So, I'm not asking the right questions here. To recap:
1. What log files *are* being generated? Are you getting
catalina.2010-04-01.log, catalina.2010-04-02.log etc?
2. If so, are they in addition to the catalina.1.tar.gz type files?
3. How big are is the compressed tar.gz and and how big is the file when
it's unpacked?
4. Did you post the entire log4j.properties or are there other parts to
it? E.g. Are there MaxBackupIndex and MaxFileSize settings? If not,
try adding one set to -1 and 0.

Sorry, my mistake, I misread your email.
Also:
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/DailyRollingFileAppender.html
seems to say that DailyRollingFileAppender isn't a good choice.

Tomcat doesn't tar & gzip files by default. How are you starting
Tomcat, using a script like /etc/init.d/tomcat?

Oops, type too fast. I want catalina.out to be rotate daily but Tomcat give
me extra files (catalina.out.1.gz, catalina.out.2.gz...catalina.
out.30.gz). I don't want those extra files. Any chance to disable that?
The extra files are generated by Tomcat by default? I do not specify those
file rotation anywhere.

You've configured a DailyRollingFileAppender with DatePattern
DatePattern set to ".yyyy-MM-dd" so the log files are being rotated daily.
What were you intending it to do?
