Description Petr Kremensky 2014-09-26 09:01:35 UTC

Description of problem:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EAP6-150 brings a suffix attribute into size handler. But it behaves differently than in other handlers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 6.4.0.DR2

We have now three handers supporting suffix attribute:
 - periodic-rotating-file-hadler
 - periodic-size-rotating-file-handler
 - size-rotating-file-handler

Description is saying that the string has to be in a format which can be understood by java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
suffix1 = ".yyyy-MM-dd"
suffix2 = "HH:mm:ss"

periodic-rotating-file-hadler
 - suffix1 OK
 - suffix2 NOK

periodic-size-rotating-file-handler
 - suffix1 OK
 - suffix2 NOK

"failure-description" => "JBAS011554: The suffix (HH:mm:ss) is invalid. A suffix must be a valid date format and not contain seconds or milliseconds.",

size-rotating-file-handler
 - suffix1 OK
 - suffix2 OK

I believe this functionality should be unified.

Comment 1 James Perkins 2014-09-29 16:17:23 UTC

This was by design. The suffix on periodic-rotating-file-handler and periodic-size-rotating-file-handler are used to determine whether or not a file should be rotated.

The suffix on the size-rotating-file-handler is only used as a suffix to the file when the size limit is met. It's not used to determine when the file should be rotated. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/PRODMGT-416 for details on why this was requested.

Comment 2 James Perkins 2014-09-29 16:18:58 UTC

Oh I forgot to mention. We don't allow rotation by suffix on anything smaller than a minute which is why :ss doesn't work. It does however work with the size-rotating-file-handler suffix because it's used purely as a suffix and not used to determine rotation.

Thanks for clarification James, I'll make sure this information makes it to the documentation.
