Problem Definition

Right now most of the Bamboo log is present in the catalina.out since it seems to log the whole content from atlassian-bamboo.log plus the Tomcat logs. The atlassian-bamboo.log also logs the content from the access_log.<date> but in this case a bit trimmed. In other words, we have multiple files with repeated information consuming space and also cluttering the specific log content.

Suggested Solution

• The catalina.out should hold Tomcat specific logs (the default log4j configuration should be adjusted for this)
• The atlassian-bamboo.log should hold only the product log (without the access logs, since they are present in a different file)

Workaround for catalina.out logging

The Log4j.properties can be configured to show only the relevant bamboo information in catalina.out
