Create a new log file every hour?

Is there a way to change the log file schedule to create a new log file hourly instead of once a day?

Or you can just change this line (in conf/log4j.properties) from:

log4j.appender.serverAccess.DatePattern=’.'yyyy-MM-dd

to:

log4j.appender.serverAccess.DatePattern=’.'yyyy-MM-dd.HH

Refer to this guide:

Do I also have to set this to hourly? If so, what file? DAILY would be HOURLY?

log4j.appender.[appender]=server.utils.CompressingRollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.[appender].Period=DAILY
