[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-43) Allow DailyRollingFile appender to rollover programmatically

["Ralph Goers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13047935#comment-13047935 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-43:
-----------------------------------

I have a suspicion the previous comment is for Log4J 1.x? 

I expect a programmatic call will be required to ultmately allow the rollover via JMX. However, it would also make sense to be able to provide configurable guidance on when a rollover must be forced.

> This will allow log file rollover, in case there's no messages to be logged for a long time,

> I think making the rollOver method public would be sufficient :)
