lognotate and log rollover at intervals
Hi guys,
I am trying all sorts of methods to generate better logs and better
ways to interpret the data obtained.
In jmeter.properties, there is this very useful piece of information:
"
# If the filename contains paired single-quotes, then the name is processed
# as a SimpleDateFormat format applied to the current date, for example:
"
I use it like this: log_file='jmeter-logs_'yyyyMMdd'.log'. This makes
a log with current date when first opening JMeter, but if jmeter runs
for more than a day, every new entry is written in that file as well.
It would be nice if a new file was written every day and I have no
idea how to do this.
So this is my first question, Q1: how to make a new logfile when
yyyyMMdd value changes?
________
Also and more important, I would also like to use lognotate for the
.jtl files the listener(-s) write. It would be nice to append
'yyyyMMdd-HH' to the filename and make a new logfile each hour.
Q2: Is this possible? How to... ?
I have no idea where to start looking, tried googling it for a while,
but I haven't found anything related to JMeter on this matter.

Of course it's possible.
However, AFAIK it would mean changing every single class that uses
logging, which is a lot of work.

apache tomcat can use some logkit to rotate it's log files.
is it not possible to add such existing utilities to JMeter?

Not possible, the log file is created at startup only.
