Improve error logging profiles
------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2011
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2011
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: 1.7.0-beta1, 1.6.4
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.6.5, 1.7.0-beta2
Logging as it stands now always logs to the console as well. Unfortunately Tomcat catalina.out is not rotated, meaning that in a situation of few restarts, no one cleaning up the /logs diectory, and many exceptions rapidly filling the log, the catalina.out can become huge (we had it at 200+GB on one of our servers).
We need to simplify the logging profiles (probably have a single "full logging" profile) and have some explicitly targeted for production that do not output to the console at all, following the suggestions reported in Tomcat FAQ:
