Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-978:
-----------------------------------------
Added support for time/date scheduled log rotation analogous to Log4J's
DailyRollingFileAppender in Rev. 796980.
The configuration itself is not modified but the interpretation of the
configuration is changed:
If the log file threshold (previously called file size) is defined using a
plain number or a number with a size specifier (case-insensitively any of k,
kb, m, mb, g, or gb) the log file is rotated per its size. Otherwise the
configuration value is assumed to be a SimpleDateFormat pattern to be used as
a pattern to generate the name of the rotated log file and indicating when to
rotate the log file.
The defualt value is also changed (was 10MB until now) to "'.'yyyy-MM-dd"
indicating daily log file rotation.
Finally the number of log file generations specified of course only applies to
size-based log file rotation. Date/Time based log file rotation does not remove
old log file generations.
> Allow Sling logs to be configured to rotate on time instead of file size

> Project: Sling

> Components: Commons Log
> Affects Versions: Commons Log 2.0.4

>
> Log4j has the ability to rotate logs daily/based on a time parameter rather
> than a file size. This makes system administration easier since the "right"
> log file can be easily identified based on when a problem occurred.
> A similar feature inside Sling logging would be useful.
