[Zope-DB] A new event.log on every restart of Zope

[Ken Winter]

It would accelerate my Zope debugging cycle to have a new event.log file
automatically started every time I restart Zope, with the old file
preserved.

 

It seems like a simple way to do this would be to modify the zope.conf
<eventlog> entry, which currently reads like this.

 

<eventlog>

      level info

      <logfile>

            path $INSTANCE/log/event.log

            level info

      </logfile>

</eventlog>

 

.so that the "path" line puts a "now" timestamp into the file name,
something like this.

 

            path $INSTANCE/log/event<'NOW' TIMESTAMP>.log

 

.so that the file name includes the Zope restart timestamp, something like
this:

 

      event2008-07-15T13:30:09.log

 

My question is: what would be the syntax for the zope.conf element I have
shown above as <'NOW' TIMESTAMP>?

 

~ TIA

PS - I'm aware that there are various ways to "rotate" log files at time
intervals or when they reach a certain size.  That's not what I need.
