rollingfileappender

I started to play with log4net today and so far, I really like it. In order to preserve our current logging functionality, the app needs to create a new log file whenever the application is started. The log file name has the date and time stamp encoded in it. Currently, I've got log4net configured via an XmlConfigurator , which works great, except that the filename for my RollingFileAppender is hardcoded in the configuration XML file. I'd like to continue to use the XmlConfigurator , but after calling Configure() , I want to get at the RollingFileAppender and, in code, change its file value to

is there a solution to make the log files be created each week by RollingFileAppender's datePattern? I know that yyyyMMdd is valid for each day but i couldn't find a solution for weekly logging. thanks in advance. As far as I can tell you need to write your own appender for this. The .Net custom format strings do not have anything for getting the calendar week. There is an API for that though: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.calendar.getweekofyear%28VS.71%29.aspx 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3387075/logging-each-week-via-rollingfileappender-log4net

What I want is: Maximum of 10 log files, in total Each log file, not more than 50MB in size. Thus the logs folder never grows over (50MB *10 )= 500MB. But it seems my log4j2 config is not properly done. What is happening is: Logs do roll over after 50 MB But there are upto 10 logs kept per day Thus there is no limit of number of log files kept in log folder (since for eg, in 2 days, 20 logs of 50mb each have collected) Here is the config: <Configuration status="WARN"> <Appenders> <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="log/my.log" filePattern="log/my-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log"> <PatternLayout>

my goal is whenever file mylog.log is rolled to mylog.log.1 this rolled file is also moved to another directory, so in the original directory there is always only mylog.log . Is this possible using RollingFileAppender ? Or another appender from default log4j library? I think you mean the RollingFileAppender from Log4J if you use version >= 1.2.16 and the log4j-extras you can use this log4j.rootCategory=INFO, base log4j.appender.base=org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.base.File=/tmp/logger.log log4j.appender.base.rollingPolicy=org.apache.log4j.rolling

We're using the log4net rolling file appender and have the following requirements for our log files: A new log file at the start of each day, with the date in the filename A maximum log file size of 500KB The issue we are having is the file naming strategy when files hit 500KB: they get renamed with a .1 suffix. This is problematic as it breaks file association in Windows, so opening the files is (slightly) more of a chore. The configuration we're using is: <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="c:\log\path" /> <staticLogFileName value=

I use RollingFileAppender of log4j 1.2.16 , which rolls log files, when they reach a certain size. Now I would like to roll log files daily and when they reach a certain size. Thus there will be one or more log files per day. For example, myapp.log myapp-17.12.2013.log myapp-16.12.2012.log myapp-16.12.2012.1.log myapp-16.12.2012.2.log Is there an off-the-shelf appender, which does it already? There are indeed two options: use LogBack with its size and time triggering policy: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP there is TimeAndSizeRollingAppender for Log4J from

The DatePattern string needs to be something that the SimpleDateFormatter will accept . Unfortunately this means that, out of the box, this doesn't include being able to set the boundary to be a week number. There are ways of getting this value in C#, but it's not obvious that we can extend the SimpleDateFormatter or provide a different implementation of IDateFormatter and use that instead (or even in a custom RollingFileAppender ). So how might we get a Log4Net RollingFileAppender to roll weekly? I got mine rolling every week. You must set your dateformat to include the day of the month to
