Log Rotation using Log4j

dev support

Does this article still apply with Lucee 5.3.8.206?

This article references Tomcat 7 where the current version of Lucee uses Tomcat 9.0.46. I’ve tried to follow the install documents but I’m unable to locate any of the “Tomcat Extras” ( tomcat-juli.jar and tomcat-juli-adapters.jar) based on the documentation.

I’ve seen several forum articles related to the issue of large log files (ex. https://lucee.daemonite.io/t/huge-lucee-folder-in-windows-2012/2631/16) and how they reference changing logging processing to use Log4j.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Adam

On Windows, the logs by default are \LuceeInstallRoot\Tomcat\Logs

You can either restart the service which restarts the logging by name
you can write a script to move the file

in autoit

FileMove"c:\lucee\tomcat*.log", “c:\archive-logs*.txt”, $FC_OVERWRITE) ;
