Question

I using Logger to rotate files on a daily basis. I noticed that Logger rotates files using a date suffix in the following format:

${logname}.YYYYMMDD

However, I want it to suffix in the following format:

${logname}.YYYY-MM-DD

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Answer 1

From looking at the source, it seems the date format is hardcoded:

def shift_log_period(period_end)
      postfix = period_end.strftime("%Y%m%d") # YYYYMMDD

So, short of renaming the created file(s) via a scheduled job I guess there is no way of doing this.
