Filename template

If you have daily or monthly logfiles, each logfile has, of course, a different filename that reflects the period of logging time. Filename Template allows an automatical constructing of the filenames for the logfiles and reports to simplify its rotating. The resulting filename is derived from the Filename Template based on the current system time. For example, the Filename Template:
 
c:\TrafMeter\Counter_%Y-%M-%d.txt
 
will be filename
 
c:\TrafMeter\Counter_2002-Jan-01.txt
 
if system time is 1 January 2002.

You can use the following identifiers in the Filename Template:

• %Y - current year, 4 digits
• %y - current year, 2 last digits
• %m - current month, 2 digits
• %M - current month, 3 letter (for example, Feb)
• %d - current day, 2 digits
• %h - current hour, 2 digits
• %n - current minute, 2 digits

 Note

• Using Filename Template, TrafMeter can create folders with an unlimited nested level. For example, the Filename Template:
   
  c:\Reports\traffic\Enterprise\Departments\User1\%M\%d.txt
   
  will create folder c:\Reports\traffic\Enterprise\Departments\User1\Jan\
