The question is a subset of this.
I want a log file to be created everyday with the log file name format as follows:
downloadmanageryyyy-MM-dd.log
Using DailyRollingAppender
but the log file is not created at all.
My lo4j.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j='http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/'>
<appender name="InfoLogFile" class="org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="downloadmanager.log"/>
<param name="DatePattern" value=".yyyy-MM-dd" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern"
value="%d{yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %c %x%n %-5p %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
</log4j:configuration>
The DailyRollingFileAppender
shipping with log4j will not rename the log file until the first message is logged some time after midnight.
You may try to use DatedFileAppender
, which can be download from here. Contrary to the DailyRollingFileAppender
, it will create the log file whose filename always contains today's date.
