Hi Alex, The default implementation of TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy i.e. DefaultTimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy remembers the date of the latest logging activity prior to the current logging activity triggering roll over. This is the date which will be used for naming the target file for the rollover. When rollover occurs immediately due to application restart, it is the date of the existing log file which is saved into memory. HTH, On 01/07/2011 10:38 AM, Alex Vb wrote:
Good to know :) Just out of curiosity, how is this accomplished? Do you look at the created/updated timestamp? Do you look in the log file for dates? Or another method?

I may have missed something but is there a specific reason you can't use the date in the filename itself?
My only concern would be what happens if you don't log for a day, the first log will trigger a roll but the rolled file may be dated incorrectly? Anyway if that is the case you can use prudent (or something equivalent) which doesn't actually rename the files but writes to the actual target file with date and all.
The file will be dated correctly even it it is rolled over in the next day.
