Hi again...
Has anyone here used Logadm to implement rotation on the catalina.out?
http://www.softpanorama.org/Logs/log_rotation_in_solaris.shtml
I know i can rotate a log file configure via log4j, but that is
useless if catalina.out continues receiving everything. Eliminating
catalina.out is not an option as well as there are still too many
system.out messages.
Hi.
I have been battling with these logging issues in Tomcat for a while
too, see the thread entitled "Appeal to Tomcat developers".
The following is more of a hack than a clean solution, but if you cannot
get rid of catalina.out, and you can't rotate it, look at the way it is
done in the attached startup script for Tomcat 5.5, part of that package
for Linux Debian. I have a feeling the Debian packager had the same
issue, and found this as a solution.
Look at lines 132-140, and then at lines 142-156.
I have not really analysed in detail yet, but what seems to happen there
is :
- delete catalina.out
- make catalina.out be a "fifo", with appropriate permissions
- start "rotatelogs" (a utility created for that purpose), taking as
input the catalina.out fifo
- start Tomcat (which will write to catalina.out)
Thus, everything Tomcat writes to catalina.out will go as input to
rotatelogs, which will rotate this according to how you set it up, and
write it where you want.
Hope this helps.
