-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I just run into this issue, and would like to offer an additional solution
maybe intermediate or in addition to the current direction of the discussion:
I would be happy with removing only one file: the file going out of scope when
the time policy is triggered.
e.g. reusing the DefaultRolloverStrategy max attribute
# Determine the precision of the filename pattern e.g. for "log-HH:mm:dd-HH" it
would be Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY
## In cases where the pattern contains %i, then this mechanism will be
disabled and the legacy behavior will take place.
# When a rolling is triggered, calculate the time of the obsolete file by
substracting DefaultRolloverStrategy.max precision units from the current time
# Remove file(if exists) evaluating the time found in #2 with the filePattern
I could provide the implementation if you think this is worth to be included.

> Support limiting number of log files based on date pattern

> Key: LOG4J2-435
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-435
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arkin Yetis
> Assignee: Ralph Goers
> Labels: Rollover
> Attachments: LimitingRolloverStrategy.java, SizeParser.java
>
>
> DefaultRolloverStrategy max attribute only applies if you have a %i in the
> file pattern. This request is to enhance DefaultRolloverStrategy or another
> appropriate component to allow a max number of files limit to apply across
> days/months/years when a filePattern includes a date pattern.
