["Robert P (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Robert P created LOG4J2-2682:
--------------------------------

             Summary: TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy
                 Key: LOG4J2-2682
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2682
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 2.12.0
            Reporter: Robert P


In this configuration setup:
{code:xml}
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="ThisLog"
    fileName="path/to/logs/ThisLog.log"
    filePattern="path/to/logs/ThisLog_%d{yyyy.MM.dd_hh.mm.ss.sss}.log"
    append="true">
    
    <Policies>
        <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" />
    </Policies>
{code}
I think the interval in *TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy* could be revamped.
 I want to be able to print the timestamp on each log file; however, I don't want to have to do the math to estimate when an exception might occur then calculate the average timing for a new day.

I feel it should be configurable to such extent like
{code:xml}
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1d" />
{code}
Like...
||Interval type||Pattern||
|Day|d|
|Month|M|
|Week|w|
|Hour|h|
|Minute|m|
|Second|s|
|etc.| |
