If has been a frequently requested feature, but definitely non- obvious to implement on top of the existing org.apache.log4j.DRFA since the user-specified date pattern makes it difficult to determine the corresponding date from the file name when the pattern omitted significant parts of the date and to determine the minimum number of intervals that would result in an arbitrary file name. I started some work on a MultiFileAppender and this scenario was one of its use cases, but the work stalled around ApacheCON and before there was anything usable. I hope to get back to it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AW: maxBackupIndex with DailyRollingFileAppender
i made 3 extensions to DailyRoling file appender: 1) dated => the current logfile will also include the date and will not be renamed on rolling 2) compressing => old logs are compressed. 3) "cleaning" => stupid name but it will delete all files ending with zip which are older than the given max date. you can have a look at it and write your own appender which does exactly what you want. it's not difficult... you probably should do some tests tough http://www.nabble.com/file/5911/log4jCompressingAppender-src.zip > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: DM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 1.

1.2 generally only gets bug fixes so it is highly unlikely that it would get that feature added. On 3/1/07, DM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for the response.

maxBackupIndex with DailyRollingFileAppender
Hi, When using a DailyRollingFileAppender, is there any way to specify the maximum number of files which should be kept? I know that the RollingFileAppender supports a maxBackupIndex property, but it seems this is not supported by DailyRollingFileAppender. I don't want to use RollingFileAppender because I want the files to rollover every day, rather than when they reach a certain size. So my requirements are: - Roll files over daily - Only keep the last 5 log files Thanks in Advance, DM ___ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

using MaxBackupIndex with DailyRollingFileAppender
Hi, Is it possible to use maxBackupIndex with DailyRollingFileAppender? I want to rename the daily backed up files using timestamp…but, back up ONLY last particular number of files – say, 10 files max, like what RollingFileAppender lets us do. I figure from the API that I cannot do it, but just wondering if you have any other ideas. Other option is using RollingFileAppender, but get the behavior of DailyRollingFileAppender (back up files daily and not because of size exceeding – RollingFileAppender does that). Can I get some help? Thanks, Pramodh.
