Detailed Description

Implements appender writing to a file with archive support.

The events will be logged to a file until archiving is triggered. At that moment the current file is closed, moved to file with name evaluated in runtime from the archive pattern set in the object, the new file is created, and logging continues to that file. The archive never overwrites any existing file.

Member Function Documentation

archive()

string Logger::LoggerAppenderFileArchive::archive

(

)

Posts an archive event.

rename logging file and open new one

Returns

archive file name

Exceptions

LOGGER-ERROR

if target file name is not correct or target file already exists

constructor()

Logger::LoggerAppenderFileArchive::constructor	(	*string	name,
		LoggerLayout	layout,
		string	filename,
		string	archive = DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PATTERN,
		*string	encoding
	)

Creates the object.

Parameters

name	the name of the appender
layout	the layout for the appender
filename	with pattern support; see below for more information
archive	pattern to evaluate archive filename; see below for more information
encoding	the output file's encoding

The following table explains the characters used in LoggerPattern for both filename and archive parameter

Conversion character	Meaning
%s	Used to output the OS directory separator, i.e. "\" or "/"
%c	Used to output the appender name
%C	Used to output the appender class name
%E	Used to output the environment variable with name given by option, e.g. "%E{HOME}"
%%	The literal percent sign. "%%" will print a "%" sign

The following table explains the characters used in LoggerPattern for archive parameter only

Conversion character	Meaning
%P	Used to output the current logging path with filename
%p	Used to output the current logging path
%f	Used to output the current logging filename
%d	Used to output the date of the logging event using format_date. Option may specify date </td>

format, e.g. "%d{DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm:SS}", default value is "YYYYMMDDHHmmSS" |

For example, the archive pattern "%p/archive/%d/%f" archives log file "/var/run/log/MyLogger.log" to: "/var/run/log/archive/20180120102030/MyLogger.log".

getArchiveFileName()

string Logger::LoggerAppenderFileArchive::getArchiveFileName

(

)

Returns the archive filename.

The pattern may contain date fields so the result may differ when executed multiple times

processEventImpl()

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

virtual

Implements archiving, handles the archive event directly, passes all other events to the subclass for handling.

Parameters

type	the event code
params	event parameters

Reimplemented from Logger::LoggerAppenderFile.

resolveField()

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

privatevirtual

Returns a string for a format field for a pattern-based filename or archive file name.

Parameters

data	if NOTHING, then this argument specifies the logging filename, otherwise is specifies the archive pattern
key	the format character
option	the format option value, if any

Returns

the formatted string

Implements Logger::LoggerPattern.
