My own preference is to log daily, and, if you want to generate a report
for the last 7 days, use a VBscript or perl script to get the file names
(in VBscript
dateadd("d", -7, date)
will give you the date for 7 days ago, even if today is January 3rd, for
example).

A monthly logfile is just a single logfile, with the format EXYYMM.log.
If you want all the daily logs for a specific month, then EXYYMM*.log
will do the job.
