  • 1.  What the process is running while archiving the logs?

    Hi All,

    How are you?

    I want to the what the processing is running in backend while archiving the logs.

    In websphere application server, we have log rotation. We will configure log rotation policies in two ways.. 1. with time stamp 2. with size.

    After we configuring this, the log rotation will be done. While executing this which process is running as backend?

    Thanks in advance for replies...


    Thank you,
    Santosh

    hi Santosh,

    Not sure if got this straight, but if you are asking whether there is a separate process that actually performs the log rotation, then the answer is no, there is no other process doing it.

    As far as I can tell, WAS uses the log4j framework to deal with its own logs, and log4j  provides the log rotation feature, without spawning a separate process for that.

    Cheers,
    Alexei
