Adding a Periodic Rotating File Log Handler

No restart is required.

batch
/subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=TEST:add(file={"path"=>"test.log", "relative-to"=>"jboss.server.log.dir"}, suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd", append="true")
/subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=TEST:write-attribute(name="formatter", value="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n")
/subsystem=logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler=TEST:write-attribute(name="autoflush", value="true")
run-batch

System properties can be specified without "${}"

The "formatter" attribute specified above expands as:

<periodic-rotating-file-handler ...>
    ...
    <formatter>
        <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
    </formatter>
   ...
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>

The result of the above set of CLI operations is:

<server ...>
    ...
    <profile>
        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.5">
            ...
            <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="TEST" autoflush="true">
                <formatter>
                    <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
                </formatter>
                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="test.log"/>
                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
                <append value="true"/>
            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
            ...
        </subsystem>
        ...
    </profile>
   ...
</server>

Removing a Log Handler

/subsystem=logging/file-handler=INFINISPAN:remove

A log handler can only be removed if it is not being referenced by a log category or an async log handler. No restart is required.
