Question

I know the rollingPolicy parameter for log4cxx config file, but I can’t manage to have the config file which can tell the logger to create a new file each new day, how could I achieve this result ?

Answer 1

Yes. Using rolling style of Composite like this:

   <appender name="LogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <file type="log4j.Util.PatternString" value="LogFile.log" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
    <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
    <maxSizeRollBackups value="7" />
    <maximumFileSize value="100MB" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <conversionPattern value="%date{ISO8601}: [%2thread] %-5level %logger: '%P{network}.%P{node}' %message%newline" />
    </layout>
    </appender>
