Estimated Duration: 1-2 hours

Author: Daniel Marlow

Language(s)/stacks: Any

Summary:

Bootstrap a logging framework via TDD using your chosen programming language.

Write a logging framework that will allow you to append to a rolling log file or the console in your chosen programming language.

It should have the following basic features:

1. Allow you to append to a log file or the console.

2. Option to specify a maximum log file size before a new file is created.

3. Accept a configurable filter level to determine the log levels to publish.

4. Handle ERROR, WARN and INFO log levels.

5. Accept a configurable location for log files.

More advanced features if you have the time:

6. Allow custom-formatted log entries including the date and time.

7. Filter to restrict logging to certain times of the day.

8. Automatically detect configuration changes from a configuration file.
