[midPoint] Log Rotation for AD Connector

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Jason,

we've tested some of the default .NET possibilities, but I'm sure it can
be made better.

I'm experimenting with this:

 ...
    <sharedListeners>
    <!-- Testing, 16.1.2015 -->
        <add name="myListener"
type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener,
Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
        initializeData="FileLogWriter"
        location="Custom"
        logFileCreationSchedule="Daily"
        customLocation="logs/" baseFileName="*connectorserver-test*"
        MaxFileSize="9223372036854775807"
        traceOutputOptions="DateTime"> 
         <filter type="System.Diagnostics.EventTypeFilter"
          initializeData="Verbose"/>
          </add>        
    </sharedListeners>
...

All files are stored in logs/ subdirectory (CS must have write
permission there) and named connectorserver-test-2015-MM-DD.log

A new file will be created each day on first log entry (i.e. if you
don't provision to AD for a couple of days, you will not have empty log
files for each day created). Also I don't like the log format...

The section is based on some googled articles, unfortunately I can't
find that bookmark right now. I just remember that there are other ways
of rotating which require some other components (some .NET libraries?)
to be installed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
IVan
