[jetty-dev] jetty 9.4.4 deletes requests log?

[Michele Rossi <michele.rossi@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

I have just noticed that on both my Production and Pre-production environments, both running on Jetty 9.4.4, the request log file is missing.

A quick check /proc/<PID>/fd helped me discover that both files had been deleted but that Jetty was still appending to them:

/home/dev01/online_diagnostics/env/PROD/logs/2017_05_02.request.log (deleted)

I haven't updated by jetty-requestlog.xml files and I haven't changed any properties in start.ini compared to previous releases of my system using previous versions of Jetty.

Additionally, jetty used to produce a "stderr" file also called something like 2017_05_02.stderr.log and there is no trace of that around either.

Bouncing my pre-prod system caused that file to be re-created and things seem to be working as normal but the real test will be whether the log file will be deleted when the date rolls at midnight.

Is there any chance that something has been changed around that code in 9.4.4 ?

Any other ideas?

thanks a lot,

Michele
