  • How do I replace the AsyncAppender with a FileAppender in JBoss EAP?

Resolution

Use FileAppender (e.g. DailyRollingFileAppender) instead of AsyncAppender. For example, find this line in JBOSS_HOME/server/SERVERCONF/conf/jboss-log4j.xml:

<root>
    <appender-ref ref="ASYNC"/>
</root>

and replace it with this:

<root>
    <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
</root>
