I haven't tried this at all, but have you tried: /logs/%d{yyyy}/%d{MM}/app.%d{yyyyMMdd}.log Maybe it's the directory separator in the format string that was confusing it. (*Chris*) On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 8:42 AM, Chris Lemper <clemper@verical.com> wrote:
Hi Logback users!
I would like to store daily log files in the format:
/logs/%d{yyyy/MM}/app.%d{yyyyMMdd}.log
So that the end result is:
/logs/2012/02/app.20120228.log
That is I would like all daily log files for a given month in a single directory but each log file containing the full date.
However, when I configure this filename pattern using ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy, logback bases the rolling policy only on the first pattern:
INFO in c.q.l.core.rolling.DefaultTimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy - The date pattern is 'yyyy/MM' from file name pattern '/logs/%d{yyyy/MM}/app.%d{yyyyMMdd}.log'. INFO in c.q.l.core.rolling.DefaultTimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy - Rollover at start of every month.
Is it possible to accomplish this, even by just forcing the rollover to be daily (at midnight) independent of the filename pattern? I have looked through the mailing lists, documentation, and source code and cannot figure out how or if it can be done.
Thanks, Chris Lemper
