Is it possible to configure log4j to create a new file with every run of the application?

Question

For example, the first time I run an application (or immediately after I clear out the /logs directory), I want log4j to write the application\'s logs to a file called log.0

Answer 1

Solution with log4j2:

        
        
        
            %level\t%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %c: %m%n
        
        
            
            
            
        
    

Note OnStartupTriggeringPolicy and %i in filePattern. This way, Log4j will create new log file with index each time you run App.
