file_cycle writing to ".1" file
JRausch created
Hello,
I'm trying to use file_cycle to clean up old NXLog files. When I start NXLog I see my log file "Demo.log" created and being written to. When my schedule executes I see the log file getting renamed to "Demo.log.1" but no new Demo.log file is created and NXLog still continues to write to the "Demo.log.1" file.
I'm not sure if I have something set incorrectly or if there is a bug. Here's the necessary bits from nxlog.conf:
define NXLOG_DEMO c:\NXlog\Demo.log
<Extension fileop>
Module xm_fileop
<Schedule>
#Cycle the NXLog files daily and only keep 14 days
When @daily
Exec file_cycle('%NXLOG_DEMO%', 14);
</Schedule>
</Extension>
<Output Demo_out>
Module om_file
file '%NXLOG_DEMO%'
CreateDir TRUE
</Output>
I'm not sure if I have something set incorrectly or if there's a better way to do what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks! Jeff
