Disable logrotate/Log4j RollingFileAppender, creating a new log file at midnight while harvesting

[Ob Rzwo]

Hello, list,

if Geonetwork harvests beyond midnight or 00:00 UTC a new log file is
created. I would like to avoid that, so that logs concerning a harvesting
are in one file. Is it enough to rename from RollingFileAppender to
FileAppender? The file would be
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/geonetwork/WEB-INF/classes/log4j-dev.xml? If not,
how? :)

Kind regards
Gregor

Hi

I see this code:
https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/b0fb96b5b7bd23da5956a99926d559f2a7967225/harvesters/src/main/java/org/fao/geonet/kernel/harvest/harvester/AbstractHarvester.java#L205

DailyRollingFileAppender fa = new DailyRollingFileAppender();

That is creating the log file for the harvester execution, but indeed if
the harvesting ends in the following day, should be creating a new file. As
each harvester log file gets a name that contains the start date of the
harvesting I think using FileAppender should fix the issue, no need to use
any rolling appender.

Can you open an issue in GitHub? A pull request is also welcome if you can
do it,

Thanks and regards,
Jose García
