Question
What is the appender for prlog4j2.xml in Pega 7.3.1 for daily log rolling?
Please inform what should be included and where in prlog4j2.xml for daily log rolling. Is the change needed for <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy /> tag?
A part of prlog4j2.xml is given below:
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="PEGA" fileName="/pega/log1/PegaRULES-${date:yyyy-MM-dd}.log" filePattern="/pega/log1/PegaRULES-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
<PatternLayout>
<Pattern>%d [%20.20t] [%10.10X{pegathread}] [%20.20X{tenantid}] [%20.20X{app}] (%30.30c{3}) %-5p %X{stack} %X{userid} - %m%n</Pattern>
</PatternLayout>
<Filters>
<!--Deny message logged under ALERT log level-->
<ThresholdFilter level="ALERT" onMatch="DENY" onMismatch="NEUTRAL"/>
</Filters>
<Policies>
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="100 MB"/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="20"/>
</RollingRandomAccessFile>

HI Debraj,
The daily rolling occurs based on the date pattern in the file pattern tag.As the date pattern is already defined in the the following filepattern
filePattern="/pega/log1/PegaRULES-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
in the above code,the daily rollover should occur without performing any changes with the file name containing the corresponding date for each day file roll over.
Hi Debraj,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
The "prlogging.xml" file contains configuration related with daily roll of the logs. by creating separate files for each day. This is what you need If I understand your buisness requirement correctly.
