Description

Hello there. I have a question. Will the streamroller work for e.g. 200 of instances of the same server/process writing to the same logs folder? I mean, will the file rotation and all file data appending work in that case?
I have a server which runs in dockerized environment and we can have up to 200 instances of server. I want to use your solution for logging from all instances in parallel, logs should be stored in one place, one file.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by locating the file rotation and append implementation, then determine whether concurrent writes from many processes to one logs folder are supported. Done would require a documented or tested answer for the 200-instance scenario.
