Configuration - Rolling File Log

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Implementation of Rolling File in glog ?

I would like know if with glog we can configure a rolling file.
That is to say , every day glog create a new log file automatically.

Send Log file ?
Can we configure glog to send a log file by email or write in a Data Base 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-glog-0.3.0
-Visual 2005
-XP & Vista

Please provide any additional information below:
I´m trying to compare glog with log4cxx.
It´s for a big project and I have to think about the enhancement of glog 
and the support.

Hello.
We are using glog too and facing the same problem.
Is there already any solution?
Any advice will be helpful.
Thank you.

I'm attaching a patch I made to add a RotateLogFiles() API to glog. I use this 
with a SIGHUP handler and an external program like logrotate to handle rotating 
log files. It would certainly be nice though if glog was as flexible as 
log4j/log4cxx in this respect.

I miss the log4cxx feature to set a max log file size before rotation, and a 
max number of log files to keep around. This way I can have a rough 
approximation of how much disk space will be dedicated to logging and it is 
bounded.

    export GLOG_max_log_size=100
This environment variable will keep the maximum log size to 100MB.

    export GLOG_stop_logging_if_full_disk=1
This environment variable will stop logging if the disk is full.

Those environment variables are not the same as rolling logs with a max size.

Any progress on this issue?
+1 for adding RotateLogFiles() API to be used in conjunction with SIGHUP, as 
proposed in #3.

It's been more than a year since the last comment on this issue/request.  Has 
there been any further updates to this issue?  glog would be a more complete 
logging solution if it had support for Log Rotation.  It is unwise for a log to 
use up all available disk space (unless that's that the user wants).  Ensuring 
that we can estimate (if not fix) the total size limit of glog creates a better 
solution for all it's users.
