# Rotating strategy. can be one of the following values
#   None - no rotating. logs are written into specified log file without any rotating. In that case RotatingFile is fully equal to FileSink
#   Single - only one .bak file is created when log file reaches MaxLogfileSize. Old .bak file is deleted.
#   TimeStamp - .bak files are created with TimeStamp in the name. Unlimited number of such files can be created.
#   Numbers - when log file reaches MaxLogfileSize, log file is renamed to <logfilename>.1.bak, existing <logfilename>.1.bak is renamed to <logfilename>.2.bak and so on.
#   maximum number of numerated .bak files is MaxBackupIndex. Extra files are deleted.

#For any sink type it is possible to define error patterns for the message of each log level

# full list of placeholders can be found below

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Log message patterns. 
# Each pattern allows to set the format in which log information will be saved to the log file.
# Each pattern can be a combination of placeholders and free text. 
# Letters that are not placeholders will be copied to the output stream without changing.
# The example of template line : '%TIME% #%THREAD% : %MSG%'
# NOTE! MACROS ARE CASE SENSITIVE AND MUST BE IN UPEER CASE.
# List of supported placeholders:
#  %TIME% - current time
#  %DATE% - current date
#  %DATETIME% - the current date and time 
#  %THREAD% - ID of thread that generated this log message
#  %MSG% - log message itself
#  %LOGLEVEL% - log level for log message.
#  %APPNAME% - the name of application
#  %APPVERSION% - the version of application. Can have x.x.x.x format or other.
#  %OS% - OS name (for example Microsoft Windows 10)
#  %OSVERSION% - OS version number (for example "5.1.0.2666")
