Detailed Description

Implemants appender writing to a file with file circular rotation support.

The events will be logged to a file until rotation occurs. At that moment the current file is closed, next file is created and logging continues to the new file.

Member Function Documentation

constructor()

Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRing::constructor	(	*string	name,
		LoggerLayout	layout,
		string	pattern,
		int	count = DEFAULT_ROTATION_COUNT,
		*string	encoding
	)

Creates the object.

Parameters

name	the name of the appender
layout	the layout for the appender
pattern	to generate the file name; see information below
count	number of files in ring, if count is <=0 then no ratation is performed
encoding	the encoding of the output file

The following table explains the characters used in LoggerPattern and all other characters that you can use in your custom pattern:

Conversion character	Meaning
i	Used to output the current file index from 0 to count-1. option may specify sprintf()() format, e.g. "%.3d"
n	Used to output the rotation count. Option may specify sprintf()() format, e.g. "%.3d"
c	Used to output the appender name.
C	Used to output the appender class name.
d	Used to output the date of the logging event using format_date(). Option may specify date format, e.g. "%d{DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm:SS}", default value is "YYYYMMDDHHmmSS"
E	Used to output the environment variable with name given by option, e.g. "%E{HOME}"
%	The literal percent sign. "%%" will print a "%" sign

For example, the pattern "/var/run/log/%c.log.%i{%03d}" creates the following file names: "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log.000", "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log.001" etc.

processEventImpl()

Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRing::processEventImpl ( int  type, auto  params  )

virtual

Implements filename rotation; handles the open and rotate events directly; passes all other events to the subclass for handling.

Parameters

type	the event type
params	event parameters

Reimplemented from Logger::LoggerAppenderFile.

resolveField()

*string Logger::LoggerAppenderFileRing::resolveField ( auto  data, string  key, *string  option  )

privatevirtual

Returns a string for a format field for a pattern-based filename.

Parameters

data	input context reference data
key	the format character
option	the format option value, if any

Returns

the formatted string

Implements Logger::LoggerPattern.
