title: Tomcat logging catalina.out is continiously increasing
body: <p>As I mentioned in the title, there is a problem about my slf4j tomcat logging configuration. The thing is, whereas I can rotate catalina.out to different files like daily appender, catalina.out file itself continues growing and I cannot figure out why. </p>
  
  <p>Btw, I already use my application's log file in order to use slf4j logger.info debug and any other else features, however I still need catalina.out to see what is going on on the fly from the console. That's why I need to continue using catalina.out and myApplication.log simultaneously. </p>
  
  <p>Here is my tomcat logging properties under tomcat_home/conf</p>
