  • bufferedIO – When true, I/O will be buffered. Defaults to "true".
  • bufferSizeStr – buffer size for buffered IO (default is 8192).
  • immediateFlush – When true, events are immediately flushed. Defaults to "true".
  • policy – The triggering policy. (required).
  • strategy – The rollover strategy. Defaults to DefaultRolloverStrategy.
  • layout – The layout to use (defaults to the default PatternLayout).
  • filter – The Filter or null.
  • ignore – If "true" (default) exceptions encountered when appending events are logged; otherwise they are propagated to the caller.
  • 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.
