CAS is not saving cas.log

[carlos maddaleno cuellar]

Hi good morning i wanted to know if someone can help me my cas is not creating cas.log on the WEB-INF/classes

so my configuration on log4j2.xml is this

- <RollingFile name="file" fileName="log/cas.log" append="true" filePattern="cas-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log">

  <PatternLayout pattern="%d %p [%c] - %m%n" />

- <Policies>

  <OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />

  <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB" />

  <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />

  </Policies>

  </RollingFile>

and my cas properties i have this properties configuration
log4j.config.location=file:/opt/glassfish4/applicationFiles/cas/log4j2.xml
logging.config=file:/opt/glassfish4/applicationFiles/cas/log4j2.xml

but when i go to the path
WEB-INF/classes i have another log4j2.xml and the cas.log is not anywhere how can i configure to generate the log file to the same path for the log4j2.xml

like this

/opt/glassfish4/applicationFiles/cas/cas.log

thanks

You didn't mention what version of CAS you are using. If you are on the 4.2 builds, look here for details: https://apereo.github.io/cas/4.2.x/installation/Logging.html

Do you have one log4j2.xml file or two? For testing purposes, I would put a single log4j2.xml file in WEB-INF/classes. That eliminates any possible properties file issues. Once you have the log4j2.xml file working correctly, then you can move it to your logging.config location.

I ran into a problem finding out where, in my case, tomcat was writing logs. It wasn't writing them where I was expecting them.  So I would also suggest hardcoding the path to the logs in your log4j2.xml configuration for now. Make it:

<RollingFile name="file" fileName="/opt/glassfish4/applicationFiles/cas/cas.log" append="true" filePattern="cas-%d{yyyy-MM-dd-HH}-%i.log">

If that works, you can leave it, or you can try to find out where Glassfish thinks it is writing them.  I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13835913/location-of-glassfish-server-logs which might help.  

Make sure that the user that Glassfish runs as can write to that folder. I should note that it is generally not recommended to write logs to the same place you have configuration files or on /opt for that matter. It would be too easy to delete an important file if you used a wildcard for the rm.
