Property	Datatype	Description
level	string	The maximum level of log message the log handler records.
encoding	string	The character encoding scheme to be used for the output.
formatter	string	The log formatter used by this log handler.
append	boolean	If set to true then all messages written by this handler will be appended to the file if it already exists. If set to false a new file will be created each time the application server launches. Changes to `append` require a server reboot to take effect.
autoflush	boolean	If set to true the log messages will be sent to the handlers assigned file immediately upon receipt. Changes to `autoflush` require a server reboot to take effect.
name	string	The unique identifier for this log handler.
file	object	The object that represents the file where the output of this log handler is written to. It has two configuration properties, `relative-to` and `path`.
relative-to	string	This is a property of the file object and is the directory where the log file is written to. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 file path variables can be specified here. The `jboss.server.log.dir` variable points to the `log/` directory of the server.
path	string	This is a property of the file object and is the name of the file where the log messages will be written. It is a relative path name that is appended to the value of the `relative-to` property to determine the complete path.
