Logfile

[webcontrol]

Hello,

we use vvpro2 an vvengine on a couple of servers. For maintanance tasks our sysadmin has to review the logs from time to time. On a busy server the log grows fast and either viewing as well as searching in the log is a pain with large logs. It would be great to have logfile rotation for each day. The result would be a logfile for each day and small sizes. An additional feature to autodelete logs after a specific period of days would be helpfull aswell if a daily rotation feature is implemented.

Kind regards

Michael

Hi! try using the custom variables for the log file path, for instance try:
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ViceVersa PRO 2\log<dayofweek>.log"
which will expand to a different log file name each day of week.
The custom variables are listed in the help file.

I'm evaluating VVPro v2012. I tried that command line you suggested to create daily log files. However, it still creates a log file called log1.log instead of one with the date in it.

Do I need VVEngine to make it work?

Hi, VVEngine is not needed for this.
But the log file specified in the profile file takes priority over the command line. You will need to use the variable in the profile.

Thank you for the answer. I had opened the "Change Profile Settings" area. In the file location I had tried:

"D:\VVPro\Logs\log<dayofweek>.log"

When I attempt to click on the browse button to go to the file location, I get an invalid path error. When I save the profile, then perform and Compare and Execute, I get a log file called:

"log<dayofweek>.log", not one called "log040206.log"

Thanks again!
