Renaming log file
Currently I am using Daily Rolling File Appender to generate log files.
I want to rename my log file from "ABC.log2008-1-27" to "ABC.log number
sequence" , like "ABC.log1","ABC.log2" and so on.
Should I create a custom appender or are there any appenders that generate
this format.
If I have to create a custom appender please let me know how to do it.

That depends on how you are configuring (properties, xml, or code).
Searching the archives and/or Google will surely give some examples.

Currently my log files are generated with a date stamp because I am using the
Daily Rolling File Appender
My requirement is that I want my log files without the date stamp, instead I
want them as filename.log.1, filename.log.2, etc. as a sequence of numbers.
You said Rolling File Appender would solve my problem. Could you be kind
enough to show me how with an example? I am rather new to log4j.

If you do need to write custom code, I would recommend writing a
custom RollingPolicy for the
org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender (o.a.l.r.RFA) in the
extras companion (http://logging.apache.org/companions/extras). The
o.a.l.r.RFA was designed to support pluggable RollingPolicies which
provide the strategy for renaming files and TriggeringPolicies which
provide the strategy for determining when to trigger files. It seems
like you might just want to mix the FixedWindowRollingPolicy (which
provides .1, .2, etc file names) with a TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy.

I'm not sure what you want but RollingFileAppender will make files
like what you want.
