Logback file error : no applicable action for [rollingPolicy], current pattern is [[configuration][appender][rollingPolicy]]

Question

I am using logging in akka to write logs to a file every thing is fine until my log file stop writing logs maybe it become full so i read abou rolling policy so i can create additional files but i end up with lots of errors here is my logback.xml file

<configuration>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
  <File>/media/sara/682AA7A32AA76D2E/study/ifkaarproject/articateInScala/log/akka.log</File>
      <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
      <fileNamePattern>/media/sara/682AA7A32AA76D2E/study/ifkaarproject/articateInScala/log/akka.%i.log</fileNamePattern>
      <minIndex>1</minIndex>
      <maxIndex>3</maxIndex>
    </rollingPolicy>

   <triggeringPolicy class="com.bigbasket.dapp.utilities.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
        <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize>
    </triggeringPolicy>

     <encoder>
          <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{0} %X{akkaSource} %msg%n</pattern>
         </encoder>
   </appender>

    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">

    <encoder>
      <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger{0} %X{akkaSource} -%msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>

  </appender>

   <root level="info">
   <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>

   </root>
</configuration>

when i run my application in sbt following messages printed out

before this <rollingPolicy> <triggeringPolicy>every thing works fine but akka.log file has no capacity left so i had no choice to use this rollingPolicy thing please help me

Answer 1

You need to use a logger of type RollingFileAppender, not FileAppender, like this:

<configuration>
    <!-- this is the important line -->
    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <File>/media/sara/682AA7A32AA76D2E/study/ifkaarproject/articateInScala/log/akka.log</File>
        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
            <fileNamePattern>/media/sara/682AA7A32AA76D2E/study/ifkaarproject/articateInScala/log/akka.%i.log</fileNamePattern>
            <minIndex>1</minIndex>
            <maxIndex>3</maxIndex>
        </rollingPolicy>
        <triggeringPolicy class="com.bigbasket.dapp.utilities.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
            <maxFileSize>5MB</maxFileSize>
        </triggeringPolicy>
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{0} %X{akkaSource} %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level %logger{0} %X{akkaSource} -%msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    <root level="info">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>
</configuration>
