             Summary: Log42j: Provide the capability to Rollover all appenders in an application on Shutdown
                 Key: LOG4J2-3389
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3389
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Appenders, Configuration
    Affects Versions: 2.17.1
         Environment: All, provide the feature as an implementation that can be defined in the Log4j2 Configuration
            Reporter: Brian Antao
             Fix For: 2.18.0


I have seen many issues raised in StackOverflow for different variations of finding  a good solution to rolling over of all appenders in an application on Shutdown. But no clear and best solution emerges.

Hence raising this issue which we in our organisation also have  a great and urgent Need for.

What we need is:

A Rollover strategy that we can include in all appenders in the Log4j2 Configuration, in the Appender definition to properly rollover the associated log files on Shutdown.

The full rollover functionality needs to be defined fully in the Configuration only and no need for Java Code to be written to call the LogManager.Shutdown() method.

This feature would be a tremendous boost particularly managing log files associated with multiple pods in Kubernetes deployed applications.
