ActiveMQ Artemis logfile name

Question

I'm trying to modify the name of the logfile that is created by Artemis to include the hostname.

In the logging.properties under the broker instance, I've the below defined.

# File handler configuration
handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.FILE.level=DEBUG
handler.FILE.properties=suffix,append,autoFlush,fileName
handler.FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.FILE.append=true
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.fileName=${artemis.instance}/log/artemis_${hostname}.log
handler.FILE.formatter=PATTERN

Somehow the ${artemis.instance} gets resolved correctly, however the ${hostname} is not being evaluated.

I'm not sure where artemis.instance is defined, so I can define hostname the same way? Or if there is a way to access the hostname some other way? I'm running on Redhat environment.

The system property artemis.instance is defined in the bin/artemis script. However, you can just use bin/artemis.profile and set -Dhostname=myHost there in JAVA_ARGS.
