Good day!
I have problem with tuning log4j2.properties with manual Configuring Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic

after add this code

appender.rolling.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy
appender.rolling.strategy.action.type = Delete
appender.rolling.strategy.action.basepath = ${sys:es.logs.base_path}
appender.rolling.strategy.action.condition.type = IfLastModified
appender.rolling.strategy.action.condition.age = 7D
appender.rolling.strategy.action.PathConditions.type = IfFileName
appender.rolling.strategy.action.PathConditions.glob = ${sys:es.logs.cluster_name}-*

i get errors in log

I think that you copied and pasted these lines directly from the docs and ended up with spaces at the end of each line (and I see spaces at the end of each of your lines here). This confuses Log4j. Remove these extraneous spaces and you should be fine.

I am confused :frowning:
It is really spaces :frowning:

@jasontedor Thank you!

You're welcome. :wink:

A hint "Look for spaces at the end of each line when copying from this site" would have saved me some hours from testing too.
