Custom actions on rollover
Hi guys,
So my requirement is to log the file names of the log files at the time of rotation. I came across the `Actions` PluginElement in DefaultRolloverStrategy.
Can this be used for the purpose. I haven’t worked on it and it seems there aren’t many good resources for this. Anyone worked on the creating custom actions in Rollover strategy.
thanks,
Chandra

The best advice I can give you is to look at the existing actions in Log4j-core.

Hey Ralph,
I want to write a custom action as I see it’s not available. I am just looking for some place to start.
that’s why I asked some kind of doc/overview of the framework that would quickly get me started.
thanks,
Chandra

I just updated the stack overflow article Remko mentioned to document the improvements that were made in 2.8. That still doesn’t solve your problem, but I don’t see why you couldn’t write a custom action. If we can write an action to delete the files I don’t see why one couldn’t log the names of the files.

Hi Remko, I see it, the more I dig in the “rollover” strategy, the more I discover of these “subtleties”.
is there by any chance a bird’s eye view of the framework?
thanks,
Chandra

Some (very early stage) thinking on that topic is here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1198
This may not be easy because there are quite a few subtleties with rollovers (search the Log4j2 JIRA for rolling and rollover).
