Log Rotation and File Names

Many FlexNet log4j log files use the DailyRollingFileAppender class to automatically roll the log files each day at midnight. When a log file is rolled, a new file is started whose name does not contain a date component. The older log file is renamed to append a date component of the format specified by the appender’s DatePattern value.

The primary log file is flexnet.log, which is backed up whenever it reaches 10 megabytes in size, or if the file date is changed.
