log4net - RollingFileAppender customize file name

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

When you configure the file name to be "test.txt" log4net will write files with names:
test.txt, test.txt.1, test.txt.2 and so on.
I need the file names in this way:
test_000001.txt, test_000002.txt, test_000003.txt and so on.
Any idea how to do that?

I got around this with the Date rollingstyle if you want to have that solution.

Well, I still do not have the exact solution, but it is better now.
What I did is: Use log4net.dll 1.2.11.0. Set in the config file
PreserveLogFileNameExtension value ="true".
The file names are test.txt, test.1.txt, test.2.txt and so on.

Solution 1

What you may be looking for is this[^]. It is a patch to the Rolling File Appender to preserve file extensions with static file names.
