JBoss EAP 8.1 Daily and Size-Based Rolling File Logging

I recently had a requirement to configure JBoss logging to rotate both on a daily basis and by file size. The goal was to generate an output structure that looks like this

server.log.2026-06-24.3
server.log.2026-06-24.2
server.log.2026-06-24.1
server.log

To achieve this, I use the in my JBoss configuration. Here is the XML snippet:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:8.0">

			<periodic-size-rotating-file-handler name="DAILY_SIZE_FILE" autoflush="true">
				<formatter>
					<named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
				</formatter>
				<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
				<suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
				<rotate-size value="200m"/>
				<max-backup-index value="30"/>
				<append value="true"/>
			</periodic-size-rotating-file-handler>
			
            <root-logger>
                <level name="INFO"/>
                <handlers>
                    <handler name="DAILY_SIZE_FILE"/>
                </handlers>
            </root-logger>

        </subsystem>

The configuration above perfectly combines both strategies. It performs a daily log rotation, but it will also trigger the creation of a newly indexed log file whenever the current file size exceeds 200MB within that same day.
