%DATE% being appended to filename

[sumeet-bansal]

My current transport:

new WinstonDailyRotateFile({
    dirname: "./var/log",
    filename: "service.log",
    datePattern: "YYYY-MM-DD",
    zippedArchive: true,
    maxSize: "1g",
    maxFiles: "30d",
}),

This writes logs to ./var/log/service.log.%DATE%; how can I avoid this? Also, how can I specify a different directory for rotated logs?

@mattberther?

Your first question should be resolved with the following configuration:

filename: "service-%DATE%.log"

At this time, there is not a way to specify a different directory for rotated logs.

Is there any way to have the primary log be called just service.log?

Not at this time. You can track #23 for progress on that front.
