Hi, I'm writing a program which will frequently scan and parse log files.
I want to use RollingFileAppender to write them, but I'm not 100% happy with its behaviour. I'd have to allow for all the filenames to change between one scan and the next, or even, conceivably, while I'm actually in the middle of a scan. So I'd like a RollingFileAppender that uses stable filenames, in sequence: my.log.1 << Deleted, because MaxBackupIndex=2 my.log.2 my.log.3 my.log.4 << Current file Before I knuckle down and write one myself, I just thought I'd ask whether anyone else has done this? I did find Geoff Mottram's DatedFileAppender, but I'm really looking for something based on RollingFileAppender so I don't have any time-based issues at all (some of the programs will be running in different time zones...) Ta for any advice.
