Check (and if necessary correct) statement about file rotation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1538
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1538
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alison Heimoz
Priority: Minor
http://sling.apache.org/site/logging.html -> Scheduled Rotation
States:
For example, if the log file is configured as /foo/bar.log and the pattern
set to '.'yyyy-MM-dd, on 2001-02-16 at midnight, the logging file /foo/bar.log
will be copied to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16 and logging for 2001-02-17 will
continue in /foo/bar.log until it rolls over the next day.
Taken literally this means that:
- the content of /foo/bar.log is copied (ie duplicated; original stays in
/foo/bar.log, copy made in /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16)
- logging continues in /foo/bar.log after each copy is made (ie this file
keeps growing)
No mention is made of emptying /foo/bar.log.
I assume that at some point (in this example daily) the /foo/bar.log is
emptied, so is:
- /foo/bar.log moved to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16 and a new /foo/bar.log
created?
or
- /foo/bar.log copied to /foo/bar.log.2001-02-16, then that content deleted
from /foo/bar.log?
If the actual mechanics are not required then the simplest might be to replace
"copied" with "moved" in the current statement.
