Rolling log files based on date

Hi,

  I want to have a log4net log file 1 per day and I want to preserve log4net log files for the last 5 days only. Could log4net rolling file appender could be configured to do that ?

Thanks in advance and regards

Navin

Thanks for response. Has somebody tried that and see if it works ? Another note pointed to documentation that it is not supported!?

Thanks again and regards

    This is a configuration for an apprender will roll the file every day and keep 5 days of logs.
 
<appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="/logs/yourlogfile.log" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
  <rollingStyle value="Date" />
  <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
  <maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%d{MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss}: %p %t  %c{1} - %m%n" />
        </layout>
     </appender>
 
 
Check out http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.html
 
for more property settings.

Hi,

Documentation says it's not supported :
"A maximum number of backup files when rolling on date/time boundaries is
not supported."
