ing-log4j2 (e.g.
compression actions, file managers) - I'm not sure if it could easily be split
off into its own appender.

Subject: Re: RollingFileAppender enhancement for f
I agree with Ralph here. My suggestion would be to publish this custom
appender as a separate F/OSS project first. It can certainly be contributed
back to Log4j at a later stage depending on its reception by the community.

How is that different than what it already does? Today we simply inspect the
file extension and compress using that method after rollover.

Hi All,
How about this approach instead?..
-> A new Boolean config option "fileCompression" for the
RollingFileAppender.
-> If true, the log is written to FileOutputStream (as usual).
-> And at the time of rollover, compress the file (as .gz, .zip, etc) and
delete the original file.

While useful I have concerns as to what the state of the file would be if the
application dies. Also, is the file readable as it is being written? The
RollingAppenders are already overly complicated so I am reluctant to add new
features without doing something to simplify them.

That sounds pretty useful to me. Using the existing compression
actions could make it so you can more easily support other compression
formats.

Hi all,
We have a local modification to logging-log4j2/log4j-core that we are hoping to
contribute back to open source. We modify the RollingFileAppender, adding a
config option to compress the file as it is originally written instead of on
rollover. The value of this is in reducing the volume
