RotatedJsonFileSink?

Hello! Do you have any plans to implement RotatedJsonFileSink?

Hey,

At the moment, I don't have plans to implement a RotatedJsonFileSink, but it's an interesting idea, and I’ll definitely give it some thought. Typically, rotation isn’t implemented for JSON sinks because these logs are often parsed and forwarded to a UI by log agents (like Fluentd, Logstash, etc.)

For now, if you need this functionality, you can create a custom sink by combining the rotation logic from RotatingFileSink with the JSON formatting logic from JsonFileSink

To reduce disks pressure we write JSON-formatted logs to in-memory tmpfs with limited size and then forward them by fluentd into permanent UI storage. Being able to automatically rotate logs by size criteria would be a big plus in our case.

I have added this for v8 release which will be released in about a month.

After it is released you can use this example, which is currently in v8 branch :
