Limit the size of the wso2carbon.log file



We can limit the size of the wso2carbon log file as bellow.

1. Open the log4j.properties file under <server_home>/repository/conf directory.

2. Find this log appender "log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE=org.wso2.carbon.logging.appenders.CarbonDailyRollingFileAppender"

3. Change it as bellow.

log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

4. Add following two property under the RollingFileAppender.

log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.MaxBackupIndex=20

Finally it should look like bellow:

# CARBON_LOGFILE is set to be a DailyRollingFileAppender using a PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
# Log file will be overridden by the configuration setting in the DB
# This path should be relative to WSO2 Carbon Home
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.File=${carbon.home}/repository/logs/${instance.log}/wso2carbon${instance.log}.log
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.Append=true
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.layout=org.wso2.carbon.utils.logging.TenantAwarePatternLayout
# ConversionPattern will be overridden by the configuration setting in the DB
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=TID: [%T] [%S] [%d] %P%5p {%c} - %x %m {%c}%n
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.layout.TenantPattern=%U%@%D [%T] [%S]
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.threshold=DEBUG
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.CARBON_LOGFILE.MaxBackupIndex=20
