Counter Start value setting

[GGY-CM]

Hi,

Can you add a setting to allow set the start value of the counter? or set its start value to 1 instead of 0?

Thanks,

You can achieve this pretty easy by subclassing FileLoggerProcessor and overriding the GetCounter virtual method.

I put together a sample console app for you to demonstrate how to do this.

However, I'll consider introducing some hook to control this from the settings. A CounterFormatter callback or something.

Thank you very much.

Version 3.2.0 introduces the previously mentioned hook mechanism. Now this is possible through configuration, without subclassing anything:

builder.AddFile(o =>
{
    o.RootPath = AppContext.BaseDirectory;

    o.PathPlaceholderResolver =  (placeholderName, inlineFormat, context) =>
        placeholderName == "counter" ? 
        (context.Counter + 1).ToString(inlineFormat ?? context.CounterFormat, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) :
        null;
});
