Sometimes, this list can be more of a grammar and etiquette support group than anything else.

It should. As many issues are not reproducible in dev/test that plague production, at the very least production gets much more activity, so this issue shouldn't come up too often. You could even write a script to ping your server once every hour on the :01 to trip the log file if you were very worried about it. > Now I'm really excited about implementing these changes in our big test > environment that has a lot of activity.

Right. For this, you'll want to look at setting the configuration for each web application, like this: log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/your-web-app]=INFO, SOME_NEW_APPENDER This will keep it from going to the CATALINA appender, which is the default logger in the most-recent configuration you posted to the list.
