Class ConsoleLogService

Namespace

McServerLauncher.Services

Assembly

McServerLauncher.dll

Persists every server's console output to a shared, dated log file (%APPDATA%/McServerLauncher/logs/launcher-yyyy-MM-dd.log) so the history survives the app being closed or crashing, not just the in-memory console shown in the UI. A new file starts each day; files older than McServerLauncher.Services.ConsoleLogService.RetentionDays are pruned so the folder doesn't grow forever.

Remarks

Pruning used to happen once, when the app started. The app is made to live in the tray for weeks, so on the machines where the logs pile up most it simply never ran; it now also runs each time the day's file changes.

And a day's file has a ceiling, McServerLauncher.Services.ConsoleLogService.DefaultMaxBytesPerDay. A server stuck printing the same error in a loop used to write until the disk was full. Past the ceiling one line says so and nothing more is written until the next day; the console on screen is not affected.

Fields
