                 Key: LOG4J2-2728
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2728
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appenders

Log4j 2.11.0, Log file rotation

 
            Reporter: Shivasharan D N
         Attachments: logmonitor.rar

In Log4J 2.11.0, log file rotation handling is failing.

As a result, single file keeps growing in size and ends up consuming all the space on the drive.

All previously rotated files will be deleted and only one file will be kept by Log4j which will keep growing in size endlessly.

Attaching the proc-monitor file for the log4j log files.

java path:

C:\EMC\AppSync\jre\bin

log file path:

C:\EMC\AppSync\jboss\logs\

Primary log file: server.log

Rotated files (in latest to oldest order): server.log.1, server.log.2, server.log.3, .... etc.
