Description

After a logrotate of the files present in /var/log/rudder/core/, they are naver filled again. Normally, the application should be reload or restarted in order to release the rotated file but restart the whole application for that seems a bit...heavy.

I wonder if this file should be rotated with log4j. What do you think François ?

I think so, else log4j doesn't know where to write (the file it was written to is no more here). But it should be checked on internet.

This is related to #3916

It is known that Log4j does not handle correctly rotation if logrotate is not configure with copytruncate.

I thing that one should be closed as "duplicate" of #3916, no?

Not sure. This is related because I was asking if log4j or logrotate should manage the rotation but in my opinion, this is not really a duplicate.

I don't know what to say more than what is already say here and in #3916.

Log4j (as it's what Jetty uses) does not reload file when they are closed. We don't have any way to make it so. So the only solutions I see are:
1/ to reload the webapp (not good)
2/ make Log4j handle the rotation (and so duplicate of #3916).
3/ to use copytruncate (and so duplicate of #3916).
