Log4j2 Configuration Files

Default Locations

The Log4j2 configuration file is file log4j2.xml and has is available from the following default locations for each JS7 component:

	Windows	Unix
Controller	C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\js7\controller\lib\log42j.xml	/opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/controller/lib/log4j2,xml
Agent	C:\Program Files\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent\lib\log42j.xml	/opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent/lib/log4j2,xml
JOC Cockpit	C:\ProgramFiles\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc\jetty\lib\log42j.xml	/opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty/lib/log4j2,xml

Note:

Changes to the log4j2.xml file from the above locations will be lost if newer versions of JS7 components are installed.

The Log4j2 configuration file log4j2.xml with preference is used from the following locations if the file is present:

	Windows	Unix
Controller	C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\controller\var\config\log42j.xml	/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/controller/var/config/log4j2,xml
Agent	C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent\var_<port>\config\log42j.xml	/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent/var_<port>/config/log4j2,xml
JOC Cockpit	C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc\jetty_base\resources\joc\log42j.xml	/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty_base/resources/joc/log4j2,xml

Note:

Preferably the above locations are used if changes to the log4j2.xml file are required. Installation of newer releases of JS7 components will not overwrite this from if present with the above locations.
Changes to the Log4j2 configuration are applied within 60s and do not require the JS7 component to be restarted.

By default log files are rotated on the following events:
