Create a File Appender.
Params:
  • fileName – The name and path of the file.
  • append – "True" if the file should be appended to, "false" if it should be overwritten. The default is "true".
  • locking – "True" if the file should be locked. The default is "false".
  • name – The name of the Appender.
  • immediateFlush – "true" if the contents should be flushed on every write, "false" otherwise. The default is "true".
  • ignoreExceptions – If "true" (default) exceptions encountered when appending events are logged; otherwise they are propagated to the caller.
  • bufferedIo – "true" if I/O should be buffered, "false" otherwise. The default is "true".
  • bufferSizeStr – buffer size for buffered IO (default is 8192).
  • layout – The layout to use to format the event. If no layout is provided the default PatternLayout will be used.
  • filter – The filter, if any, to use.
  • advertise – "true" if the appender configuration should be advertised, "false" otherwise.
  • advertiseUri – The advertised URI which can be used to retrieve the file contents.
  • config – The Configuration
Returns:The FileAppender.
Deprecated:Use newBuilder()
