Hi
I have simple question.
Is there any chance to rotate Trace node file logs as log4j does it (eg. daily) ?

I'm sure this was a suggestion some years ago.
It would be nice to have the ability to do this although, using trace nodes like this is not something I would recommend for production systems unless there was no other way to do this.
With the advent of the file nodes in the core V6.1 release, you can now write flow data to files with timestamps which in some situations, can be a better alternative to the trace node route.
These Trace node generated logs can get very unwieldy after time.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions.

We are using MB v 6.0.
What can we use to log ?
I can do it using log4j within broker but is it better than trace node ?
How about performance ?
Isn't it better to use trace node rather than custom java log method ?

Anything other than a trace node!
