I hope someone can help me with a Tomcat (10.1.x) logging configuration
question.
I'm perplexed trying to figure out the logging configuration for the
localhost log. I'm using an external logrotate utility to handle log
rotation. This is working well for other Tomcat logs such as catalina.out,
access.log, etc, but for our localhost log, Tomcat seems to be creating
them with the date Tomcat was started in the log filename, and I don't know
why or how to change this behavior. Our logrotate utility expects a
predictable logfile name, such as localhost.log, and the addition of the
date in the filename breaks that.
I have the following defined in our logging.properties file:
1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.level = FINE
1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.directory =
${catalina.base}/logs
1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.prefix = catalina
1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.encoding = UTF-8
1catalina.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.rotatable = false
2localhost.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.level = FINE
2localhost.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.directory =
${catalina.base}/logs
2localhost.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.prefix = localhost
2localhost.org.apache.juli.AsyncFileHandler.encoding = UTF-8
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.rotatable = false
If I restart Tomcat today, for example, I wind up
with localhost2023-09-22.log
I'm not sure why this works as expected with the catalina log files, but
not localhost. Presumably I have a misconception about how this is supposed
to work or some other basic error?
