boost.log: how to view open log files
Hi, currently i am writeng a windows service and use the boost.log library for logfile creation. The serive should run long and I want to view the log files when the service is running. At the moment the logfile is written to the disk when the service ends and the file always has a size of 0 bytes. Is there a way to configure boost.log in a way that the log entries are written to disk immideately and that the logfile is not locked for reading by another application so that I can view my logfile? Thanks a lot, Georg
You can force flushes by configuring a sink to do so: sink->locked_backend()->auto_flush(true); On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 2:39 PM, <Georg.Kellerer@lfu.bayern.de> wrote:

I think you should be using: keywords::auto_flush = true, You can see my previous question to the list, to see how I passed the config or read the tutorial. Regards, Ovanes
