Re: [Log4cplus-devel] Max. Age of DailyRollingFileAppender

Possibly, except on our client side the number of days to keep could be
anything from 7 to 365.....

Sometimes these logs are only for general INFO+ logging, but at other
times it could be to troubleshoot problems that are random - hence we
need debug logs for an undetermined period of time.

I really need this build into log4cplus rather than an external process
because it could be used on a server or a user PC.

Out of interest, how are you generating those filenames ?  Is the 'File'
option configurable ?

What I am doing is I create filenames for the logfiles so that they
contain the day of the week (e.g. MyLogFile-Monday.log), this way I
always have the log files from one week around.
Maybe this could also work for you ?
