Maximum Backup Size in Log4J ERROR

[yebenes]

I use log4j in my applications for manage the log files. Now, I want to manage the number of backups and the maximum log size. For this, I use two methods of the API of log4j:

setMaxBackupIndex(int maxBackups);

setMaximumFileSize(long maxSize);

The first works correctly, but the second not works. I configure the maximum size in 1024 bytes but the size of the files is 1066 bytes.

Anyone know how fix it?

Thanks! Regards, yebenes.

This happens because of the way RollingFileAdapter works (which I presume you are using because you did not include much information otherwise) - it appends, then checks maximum file size and rolls over (for the next append) if the file size is equal to or exceeds the maximum set value.

Exactly, I use a RollingFileAdapter. Thanks for the information :)
