Can I use the YYYYMMDD-token *and* have the most recent logfile without the "_YYYYMMDD"-appendix?

Question

my current logging configuration looks like this:

wrapper.logfile=/something/logs/wrapper.YYYYMMDD.log
wrapper.logfile.format=LPTM
wrapper.logfile.loglevel=INFO
wrapper.logfile.maxsize=0
wrapper.logfile.rollmode=DATE
wrapper.logfile.maxfiles=27

With this I´m producing logs like this:

wrapper.20231204.log
wrapper.20231205.log
wrapper.20231206.log

Now I would really like the most current log file to have the name wrapper.log, without the YYYYMMDD appendix.

I´ve read the documentation. With the ROLLNUM token this is possible. But it seems not possible with the YYYYMMDD token.

Am I overseeing something?

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Seems the issue was rollmode=DATE.

I changed it to rollmode=WRAPPER. This, in connection with the wrapper.logfile=/something/logs/wrapper.YYYYMMDD.log results in logs like these:

wrapper.20231204.log
wrapper.20231205.log
wrapper.20231206.log
wrapper.log
