In my .NET application I use log4net with the following configuration:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"
/>
</configSections>
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock"/>
<file value="logs\" />
<datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd.lo\g"/>
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<countDirection value="1"/>
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="5MB" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger
[%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
</configuration>
It produces a set of log files like the following:
2012-09-24.log.0
2012-09-24.log.1
...
2012-09-24.log.10
This is ALMOST what I want. The final thing I want is: to set a limit by
total size of ALL the log files in the given location (folder). In other
words - if total size of all the log files in the given location exceeds,
say, 100MB, the oldest file will be removed; does not matter does the file
belong to current day or to some day in the past. To the moment the .config
above provides a different logic: limit by size of all the log files in the
current GROUP (in my case the 'group' is 'current day').
Can I have RollingLogFileAppender working the way I want?
