Hi all,
I'm fine tuning the logging but it's not quite right...
What I want is for the file to roll at midnight to a new date pattern
file and roll within the same day if it reaches 50MB.
Eg.
Start up application, 21-NOV-2008, file gets created
myComp.Job Scheduler Service.20081121.log.txt
ideally, service continues to run, midnight rolls around and there's a
new file created for the 22nd and entries go to that.
myComp.Job Scheduler Service.20081122.log.txt
Problem is I'm not getting that... I'm getting a roll of the current
file suffixed with the starting date? And logging continues to the same
"21st" file pattern
myComp.Job Scheduler Service.20081121.log.txt <-- latest entries in here
myComp.Job Scheduler Service.20081121.log.txt20081121 <-- rolled file at
midnight.
I've tried setting the rollingStyle to Date or Composite, but that
hasn't worked either.
This is possible??
Below is the config options. I'd appreciate any help.
Also, I may have misinterpreted the maxSizeRollBackups... I've assumed
that would keep 10 days worth of log files and then start deleting older
log files for me, but I'm beginning to think that only applies to the
rolls with a day?
So I'll have to clean up any log files OLDER than 10 days?
Thanks in advance.
Hadley
