How to pass log4j properties to perform logrotation #490

Hi All,

Is there an option for us to prepare and pass the log rotation instruction to lag exporter like how we use to do for java based apps with log4j.properties ? This would be helpful to control the logs being generated by standalone lag exporter process.

Thanks!

As far as I see this project uses logback (and not log4j) as logging backend. The documentation mentions the parameter -Dlogback.configurationFile=/opt/docker/conf/logback.xml which can be set to determine the logging configuration file. Have a look at the logback configuration documentation (and most of all to the RollingFileAppender) section, if you are looking for log rotation configuration.
