> Key: LOG4J2-1134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1134
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Hüseyin Kartal
> Priority: Minor

> Hi,
> we use primary the SocketAppender to send log messages to a server instance. For failover purpose we defined a FailoverAppender with a RollingRandomAccessFileAppender as the failover instance.
> Following the configuration:
> {code:xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <Configuration monitorInterval="0" strict="true" name="XMLConfig" status="fatal" shutdownHook="enable" xmlns="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/config" xmlns:events="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/events" xmlns:levels="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/levels" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/config Log4j-config.xsd http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/events Log4j-events.xsd http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j2/levels Log4j-levels.xsd">

> <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="${defaultRolloverStrategy.max}" fileIndex="min" />
> </Appender>
> </Failovers>
> </Appender>
> <Async name="ASYNC-OUT-FAIL">
> <AppenderRef ref="OUT-FAIL" />

> <asyncLogger name="javax" level="error" />
> </Loggers>

> {code}
> Question: The appender OUT-FILE with the corresponding file is created on startup. Is it possible to create this file or the Appender only if a failover issue occurs?
