Single Log Files

[eluser]Madalina.C[/eluser]
Hi, I'll try not to sound like a girl in distress but here goes:

In it's current incarnation, CI creates a new log file everyday.

Our system already has an archiving feature for log files so I would like to keep all logs in one file. This file will be moved/archived from our side.

I was thinking about simply taking:

Code:

$config['log_date_format'] = 'Y-m-d H:i:s';

and changing it to

Code:

$config['log_date_format'] = 'McmaxxSite';

Would that create a file called

Code:

log-McmaxxSite.php

Which the logger will append to everyday, or will it overwrite the file everyday?

Thanks

log_date_format applies to the date format each logged message uses, not the naming of the file.

The file is named in system/libraries/Log.php, you could extend this class to change the naming behavior.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'll post my new code later on for other people to use

Here is the steps to take to make it one file.

Take

Code:

system/libraries/Log.php

and copy it to

Code:

system/application/libraries

Replace the line

Code:

$filepath = $this->log_path.'log-'.date('Y-m-d').EXT;

With

Code:

$config =& get_config();
$filepath = $this->log_path.'log-CI-'.str_replace(array("http://","/"),"",$config['base_url']).EXT;

(You can change the middle str_replace part with whatever you want, I just removed slashes and unnecessary characters)

It now creates the file

Code:

log-CI-some-site.php

Be sure to have some system in place to clear/move it or it might esplode in size
