Log4j DailyRollingFileAppender


I have a log file currently configured to roll over every hour. When it is first created it is called logfile.log, and once it rolls over it is renamed to logfile.log.YYYY-MM-DD-HH.

What I would like is for the log file to be created immediately using the logfile.log.YYYY-MM-DD-HH naming convention as opposed to logfile.log.

Any ideas?

    I never used this one, but it seems to be doing exactly what you need.
