    // dosomething with the logfilepath
}, function (err) {
    // handle error

window.logToFile.debug('Sample debug message');
window.logToFile.info('Sample info message');
window.logToFile.warn('Sample warn message');
window.logToFile.error('Sample error message');

Logrotate

If the logfile exceeds a filesize above 5MB the current logfile will be archived and zipped into the current logfiledirectory. The last 3 archived logfiles will be retained, older logs get deleted. The archived logfiles are reachable under the following filepattern: {logfiledirectory}/{logfilename}.{index}.zip
