[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-1340) AsyncLogger's Ringbuffer holding all JVM memory

["Remko Popma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1340?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15220797#comment-15220797 ] 

Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-1340:
-------------------------------------

To use a ringbuffer with 128 slots, the value to set is 128, not 128*1024 (that's just to make the number more readable).

Currently this cannot be set in the log4j configuration file. You have two options:
# Web containers usually have a file where you can specify system properties. Add an entry  {{AsyncLoggerConfig.RingBufferSize=128}} to that file. 
# Create a file named {{log4j2.component.properties}} and include it in the classpath of your application. Add an entry  {{AsyncLoggerConfig.RingBufferSize=128}} to that file.

> JVM getting Out of memory. when I see the heapdump analysis I found 93% of memory occupied by AsyncLogger's RingBuffer. we have total of 5 AsyncLoggers in our applications each having default buffer size.
