At the moment i'm searching for a way to automatically compress/zip my logfiles, after WildFly (8.1.0.Final) "archived" them, as it was possible in older JBoss version. My configuration currently looks like this:
[...]
<profile>
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:2.0">
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
<formatter>
<named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
</formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
<suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<append value="true"/>
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>
[...]
While trying to respect this: http://wildscribe.github.io/Wildfly/8.1.0.Final/subsystem/logging/periodic-rotating-file-handler/index.html there seems to be no trace of any compression.
My main goal is to NOT use an external tool for compression that works outside of WildFly.
