I don't believe there is a default configuration that works like that.

Perhaps you could make a policy object that does rolling like the FixedWindowRollingPolicy but uses the TriggeringPolicy from the TimeBasedRollingPolicy.

It appears both classes supporting time-based rollovers
(DailyRollingFileAppender and rolling::RollingFileAppender) do not have such an
option.


You need to look at the RollingPolicy implementation of rolling::RollingFileAppender to find that. The FixedWindowRollingPolicy has a max (and min) index used to rename a fixed number of backup files.
