<div class="block"><code>TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code> is both easy to configure and quite
powerful.
<p>In order to use <code>TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code>, the
<b>FileNamePattern</b> option must be set. It basically specifies the name of the
rolled log files. The value <code>FileNamePattern</code> should consist of
the name of the file, plus a suitably placed <code>%d</code> conversion
specifier. The <code>%d</code> conversion specifier may contain a date and
time pattern as specified by the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.text"><code>SimpleDateFormat</code></a> class. If
the date and time pattern is ommitted, then the default pattern of
"yyyy-MM-dd" is assumed. The following examples should clarify the point.
<p>
<table cellspacing="5px" border="1">
<tr>
<th><code>FileNamePattern</code> value</th>
<th>Rollover schedule</th>
<th>Example</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="true"><code>/wombat/folder/foo.%d</code></td>
<td>Daily rollover (at midnight). Due to the omission of the optional
time and date pattern for the %d token specifier, the default pattern
of "yyyy-MM-dd" is assumed, which corresponds to daily rollover.
</td>
<td>During November 23rd, 2004, logging output will go to
the file <code>/wombat/foo.2004-11-23</code>. At midnight and for
the rest of the 24th, logging output will be directed to
<code>/wombat/foo.2004-11-24</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="true"><code>/wombat/foo.%d{yyyy-MM}.log</code></td>
<td>Rollover at the beginning of each month.</td>
<td>During the month of October 2004, logging output will go to
<code>/wombat/foo.2004-10.log</code>. After midnight of October 31st
and for the rest of November, logging output will be directed to
<code>/wombat/foo.2004-11.log</code>.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>Automatic file compression</h2>
<code>TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code> supports automatic file compression.
This feature is enabled if the value of the <b>FileNamePattern</b> option
ends with <code>.gz</code> or <code>.zip</code>.
<p>
<table cellspacing="5px" border="1">
<tr>
<th><code>FileNamePattern</code> value</th>
<th>Rollover schedule</th>
<th>Example</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="true"><code>/wombat/foo.%d.gz</code></td>
<td>Daily rollover (at midnight) with automatic GZIP compression of the
archived files.</td>
<td>During November 23rd, 2004, logging output will go to
the file <code>/wombat/foo.2004-11-23</code>. However, at midnight that
file will be compressed to become <code>/wombat/foo.2004-11-23.gz</code>.
For the 24th of November, logging output will be directed to
<code>/wombat/folder/foo.2004-11-24</code> until its rolled over at the
beginning of the next day.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>Decoupling the location of the active log file and the archived log files</h2>
<p>The <em>active file</em> is defined as the log file for the current period
whereas <em>archived files</em> are those files which have been rolled over
in previous periods.
<p>By setting the <b>ActiveFileName</b> option you can decouple the location
of the active log file and the location of the archived log files.
<p>
<table cellspacing="5px" border="1">
<tr>
<th><code>FileNamePattern</code> value</th>
<th>ActiveFileName</th>
<th>Rollover schedule</th>
<th>Example</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="true"><code>/wombat/foo.log.%d</code></td>
<td nowrap="true"><code>/wombat/foo.log</code></td>
<td>Daily rollover.</td>
<td>During November 23rd, 2004, logging output will go to
the file <code>/wombat/foo.log</code>. However, at midnight that file
will archived as <code>/wombat/foo.log.2004-11-23</code>. For the 24th
of November, logging output will be directed to
<code>/wombat/folder/foo.log</code> until its archived as
<code>/wombat/foo.log.2004-11-24</code> at the beginning of the next
day.
