Syntax @ prlog4j2.xml for the Log files to be generated on hourly basis.
Hi Team,
We are planning to use Time based triggering policy(Log files to be generated on hourly basis) in prlog4j2.xml for the PRPC version 731.
Please help us with the syntax to do the same.
Also find the attachment for the prlog4j2.xml in use.

Hello-
test this out, involves making a couple of changes to your config:
before
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="ALERT" fileName="${sys:pega.logdir}/PegaRULES-ALERT.log" filePattern="${sys:pega.logdir}/PegaRULES-ALERT-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.gz">
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
& after
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="ALERT" fileName="${sys:pega.logdir}/PegaRULES-ALERT.log" filePattern="${sys:pega.logdir}/PegaRULES-ALERT-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-hh}-%i.log.gz">
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true" />
changes the filePattern setting from %d{MM-dd-yyyy} to %d{yyyy-MM-dd-hh}

While there may be a way to do that (that I'm not familiar with), another option is to schedule a script to run weekly, which will zip up the logfiles for you, and copy them off to a fileshare. More info here http://www.techiewiki.org/wiki/Tomcat_log_backup

Sure Philip.Thank you.
I have changed the logging pattern in prlog4j2.xml from filePattern="D:/PEGA_LOGS/CSX3D/PegaRULES-ALERT-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-hh}-%i.log.gz"> TO filePattern="D:/PEGA_LOGS/CSX3D/PegaRULES-ALERT.log"> so as to avoid zipping of the PegaRules log file.
Although the log files has been generated,we couldnt find any data in it.
Please help.

if you only drop the .gz instead, I think that should prevent the zipping
daily without zipping
filePattern="D:/PEGA_LOGS/COMPASS1D/PegaRULES-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log"
hourly without zipping
filePattern="D:/PEGA_LOGS/COMPASS1D/PegaRULES-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-hh}-%i.log"
