Using <size-rotating-file-handler> results in no log messages (JBAS011511) on EAP 6.1.x

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.1.x

Issue

  • Starting a JBoss container with following Warning message :

    WARN  [org.jboss.as.logging] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS011511: Replacing handler 'FILE' during add operation. Either  the handler type or the module name differs from the initial configuration.

    Why this message happen?

  • If we change the FILE appender to then we see a warning on the console and no messages are logged to the server.log file

Resolution

Upgrade to EAP 6.2.0 or later.

As a work-around, change the logging configuration via a management interface (CLI or web console) or edit the logging.properties file to add "handler.FILE.formatter=FILE".

Root Cause

This content is not included.Bug 1008806

When the logging subsystem is changed in the on-disk XML, the logging subsystem must regenerate logging.properties to keep the two configurations synchronised. There is a bug in EAP 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 which causes it to do so incorrectly.
