The logback.xml file allows for configuration of (some of) Cassandra's logging outputs. One of the main sections of this file is the system log appender, as follows:
<appender name="SYSTEMLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter"> <level>INFO</level> </filter> <file>${cassandra.logdir}/system.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy"> <fileNamePattern>${cassandra.logdir}/system.log.%i.zip</fileNamePattern> <minIndex>1</minIndex> <maxIndex>20</maxIndex> </rollingPolicy> <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy"> <maxFileSize>20MB</maxFileSize> </triggeringPolicy> <encoder> ...
