RollingFileAppender
Hi, I'd like to have a logging system with below behaviors, is
RollingFileAppender able to achieve?
1> messages are logged to a fixed file name, say log.txt.
2> log files are auto backup by sizes. I.e. when log.txt hits the configured
size, it's renamed as logyyMMddHHmmss.txt, next message coming in will be
written to log.txt again.
3> there is no limit on how many files can be backup.
Thank you.

I realized that as well after I went through the RollingFileAppender code :(.
Have already started to write my own appender.... Thank you.

Re: RollingFileAppender

Re-reading your exact requirements, I'm not sure you can get exactly what you want with the built in appenders.
The current RollingFileAppender roles on size changing the log count portion of the file name and on date changing the date portion. I think you would need to write your own appender if you want to change the date when size rolls the file.

Hi, do you mind to provide an example? I played around with the Composite
setting, but didn't get what I really want.

Tried the configuration, but the backup file name is still log.txt.1,
log.txt.2, doesn't append with datetime as specified in DatePattern

Try this
<appender name="RollingFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="log.txt" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
<maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<countDirection value="0" />
<param name="DatePattern" value=" logyyMMddHHmmss.txt" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger
[%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
