log4j configuration with FixedWindowRollingPolicy
Hi,
I have the following configuration in my log4j properties file:
log4j.appender.myapp=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.myapp.file=/tmp/myapp/logs/myapp.log
log4j.appender.myapp.append=true
log4j.appender.myapp.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.myapp.layout.ConversionPattern=%x %p %d{ISO8601} - %m%n
log4j.appender.myapp.MaxFileSize=2MB
log4j.appender.myapp.minIndex=1
log4j.appender.myapp.maxIndex=4
log4j.appender.myapp.fileNamePattern=myapp%i.log
I want myapp.log to roll over to myapp1.log when the former reaches 2 MB. It
works fine but the rollover creates only one file myapp1.log everytime myapp
exceeds 2 MB.
For example, for the first time when myapp.log exceeds 2MB, a file
myapp1.log is created and the contents of myapp.log and written to this
file. myapp.log becomes 0 bytes again and starts processing. The next time
myapp.log exceeds 2MB, myapp1.log should get rolled over to myapp2.log and
myapp.log should get rolled over to myapp1.log. This does not happen.
myapp.log gets rolled over to myapp1.log, but myapp1.log DOES NOT get rolled
over to myapp2.log. So at any time, there are only two logs present. I
specified the maxIndex value as 4...so i was expecting to see myapp.log,
myapp1.log, myapp2.log, and myapp3.log.
Is this because I am using an old verion of log4j jar library? Please help!

Try using "MaxBackupIndex" instead of "maxIndex". You can also get rid of
"minIndex" as there is no such configuration param. I don't think
"fileNamePattern" is applicable either.
