Clients have requested this capability. It would round out the filesystem consuming controls by giving stdout and stderr the same log filesystem space consumption as messages.log

Clients have requested this capability. It would round out the filesystem consuming controls by giving stdout and stderr the same log filesystem space consumption as messages.log

It should be possible to redirect Liberty server's stdout and stderr output streams to he filesystem.  stdout.log and stderr.log should be collected in the WLP_OUTPUT_DIR directory and space managed in the way as messages.log.  

One approach would be to create  posix named pipes or FIFOs called stdout..fifo and stderr.fifo.

Update server startup JCL to launch a daemon process to read the named pipes and write the data to stdout.log and stderr.log

    We are not sure that it would be possible for us to roll the files written by JES. However looking at the support case it appears that the output being written to the console consists of:

    1. Liberty console

    2. JVM Verbose GC logging

    The Liberty console.log details are also in messages.log so you could disable this output by using the consoleLogLevel in the logging configuration in server.xml to OFF (or set com.ibm.ws.logging.console.log.level in bootstrap.properties or set the WLP_LOGGING_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL environment variable). For more information about that, start here.

    The JVM can be configured to write the verbose GC log to a file using the -Xverbosegclog option, this option also supports rolling those log files. More information about that can be found here.

    If you do both of these there would be no output in the process output at which point there wouldn't be a need to roll those files. Would this solution work for you?
