Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tomcat Wiki" for change notification.
The "FAQ/Logging" page has been changed by ChristopherSchultz: https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Logging?action=diff&rev1=25&rev2=26 Comment: Fix name/link for cronolog. 1. If you are using jsvc 1.0.4 or later (from [[http://commons.apache.org/daemon/|Apache Commons Daemon]] project) to launch Tomcat, you can send SIGUSR1 signal to jsvc to get it to re-open its log files ([[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-95|Jira Ticket]]). You can couple this with 'logrotate' or your favorite log-rotation utility (including good-old 'mv') to re-name catalina.out at intervals and then get jsvc to re-open the original (catalina.out) file and continue writing to it. 1. Use 'logrotate' with the 'copytruncate' option. This allows you to externally rotate catalina.out without changing anything within Tomcat. - 1. Modify bin/catalina.sh (or bin/catalina.bat) to pipe output from the JVM into a piped-logger such as [[http://www.cronolog.org/|chronolog]] or Apache httpd's [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped|rotatelogs]] (note that the previous reference is for Apache httpd documentation and *is not applicable to Tomcat* -- it merely illustrates the concept).<<BR>>See also the patch in [[https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53930|Bug 53930, "Allow capture of catalina stdout/stderr to a command instead of just a file"]]. + 1. Modify bin/catalina.sh (or bin/catalina.bat) to pipe output from the JVM into a piped-logger such as [[http://linux.die.net/man/1/cronolog|cronolog]] or Apache httpd's [[http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped|rotatelogs]] (note that the previous reference is for Apache httpd documentation and *is not applicable to Tomcat* -- it merely illustrates the concept).<<BR>>See also the patch in [[https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53930|Bug 53930, "Allow capture of catalina stdout/stderr to a command instead of just a file"]].
