RE: Date Rollover filename

[David Gerler]

Michael,

   Other than still having the .txt in the middle of the file name, it works
nicely. Well enough for our use in fact.

 

Chris,

   Do you have an example of how to use it? I tried:

 

    <appender name="Root" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

                <file value="c:/log/synch/root.txt" />

                <appendToFile value="true" />

                <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />

                <PreserveLogFileNameExtension value="true">

                <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd" />

                <rollingStyle value="Date" />

                <staticLogFileName value="true" />

                <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

                                <header value="[Header]&#xD;&#xA;"/>

                                <footer value="[Footer]&#xD;&#xA;"/>

                                <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread]
%-5level %logger (%file:%line) - %message%newline" />

                </layout>

    </appender>

Yes - you need to set the datePattern value for the appender.  Something
like this

 

<appender name="RollingDebugLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
   <file value="..\\Data\\Logs\\debug" />
   <appendToFile value="true" />
   <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
   <staticLogFileName value="false" />
   <datePattern value=".yyyy-MM-dd.lo\g" />

and you would set yours to

   <datePattern value=".yyyy-MM-dd.txt" />

Hope this helps.

We are using the Date rollover style for our logs. The thing we don't like
is the fact that it appends the date to the end of the filename like
"root.txt20100920". We'd like to have it insert the date in the middle like
"root20100920.txt". Is that possible?

 

I have searched the documentation and can't seem to find anything. I also
tried inserting [%date] in the filename in the config file, but that didn't
work.
