Scribe outputs files of the form "category/category_XXXXX."  What happens
when "XXXXX" is "99999"?
Thanks.

Alex

After writing to category_99999, scribe will write to category_100000.  You can test this out yourself by creating a file named category_99999 and then logging until it rotates to a new file.  The file numbers go as high as INT_MAX.

Also, I recommend setting a File Store's rotate_period to "daily" so that every day the file number will reset with a new date.  And you can configure the File Store's max_size to determine how often Scribe will write to a new file.  By setting either of these configuration options, it should be easier to manage your log files.

Great information, Anthony.  Thanks!
I'm a little confused about rotate_period.  Will setting this to daily
change the filename format that Scribe creates?  So instead of
category_00001, I would see something like category_todaysdate_00001?

Thanks again.

Yes, when rotate_period is 'daily', the filename will include the date.  How about you try it out?
