Question: MaxBackupIndex RollinfIleappender XML config Howto
I try to figure aut how to configure the MaxBackupIndex property with an xml
config file.
The file looks like below and it does not work.
Any suggestions?
<appender name="RootFileApp" class="RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="log_root.txt" />
<param name="append" value="false" />
<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5" />
<triggeringPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="10KB"/>
</triggeringPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d[%t] %-5p %c %x - %m %n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
Best regards
ML

Just tested it - seems to work perfectly.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Martin,
This is a file that I used to test the rolling file appender and it worked.
I used one of the unit test xml input files and modified it.
Replace the values as per your requirements. Also replace
testcxxlogging.level2.l2r and testcxxlogging.level2.l2r.c1 with your logger
names. I defined these loggers in a parent and child class respectively.

Unfortuantely the configuration does not work.
I still get 7 backup files (seems to be the default in
FixedWindowRollingPolicy)
Is there still an error in the config file?

log4cxx implements the log4j 1.3 style rolling file appender (that is
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender vs
org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender). We haven't reworked the XML
configuration reader so it could support two different classes with
name that differ only in package name.
Your configuration file looks like a mix of o.a.l.RFA configuration
and o.a.l.r.RFA configuration. MaxBackupIndex is used by o.a.l.RFA
and triggeringPolicy by o.a.l.r.RFA.
Unfortunately, there is not a test in either log4j or log4cxx that
contains an example of setting up a size based o.a.l.r.RFA. I think
this sample is closer (and likely works for log4j), but I haven't
tested it with log4cxx.
<appender name="RootFileApp"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
<param name="maxIndex" value="5"/>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<param name="MaxFileSize" value="10KB"/>
</triggeringPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d[%t] %-5p %c %x - %m
%n"/>
</layout>
<param name="file" value="log_root.txt"/>
<param name="append" value="false"/>
</appender>
