timstamped logs

I have an app using log4net with logging set as follows:

<log4net>

    <appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

        <file value="..\log\OOPCollector.log" />

        <appendToFile value="false" />

        <maximumFileSize value="5MB" />

        <maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />

                        <lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />

        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

            <conversionPattern value="%date %5level [%thread] %logger - %message%newline" />

        </layout>

    </appender>

</log4net>

The app generally generates these logs;

OOPCollector.log

OOPCollector.log.1

OOPCollector.log.2

OOPCollector.log.3

OOPCollector.log.4

OOPCollector.log.5

But sometimes we see logs with a timestamp, such as

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18.1

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18.2

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18.3

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18.4

OOPCollector.log.2009-09-18.5

Under what circumstances are these timestamped logs being created?

No, none are. I’ve been playing around with the logging and it appears that log2net creates the timestamped log files from non-timestamped log files when the app goes to create a new log file and the most recent non-timestamped log file was last modified previous to today.

Hi John,

are the file sizes of the log files you are generating larger than 5mb at all?
