Robert Schaft commented on LOG4J2-435:
--------------------------------------
Ouff... This is confusing. You always come up with new elements to solve
problems that are introduced by previous workarounds for problems. This leads
to a point where it is impossible to understand a configuration just by looking
at the xml code. Was it "And"? Was it "Or"? Is the accumulator accumulating or
not?
Perhaps it is time to step back and rethink the configuration.
How would it be done (my third case) in java?
{code:java}
int fileCounter = 0;
long totalFileSize = 0L;
if (fileName.matches("debug.*\\.log") && now() - modificationTime <= 1 * DAY) {
fileCounter++;
totalFileSize+=file.size();
if (fileCounter > 10 || totalFileSize > 100*MB )
delete(file);
}
{code}
> Feature request: auto-delete older log files

> Key: LOG4J2-435
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-435
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arkin Yetis
> Assignee: Remko Popma
> Labels: Rollover
> Fix For: 2.5
>
> Attachments: LimitingRolloverStrategy.java, SizeParser.java
>
>
> Original description:
> {quote}
> 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.
> {quote}
> ----
> One of the most requested features is to add the ability to Log4j to "clean
> up" older log files. This usually means deleting these files, although it
> could also mean moving them to a different location, or some combination of
> these.
> Users have different requirements for selecting the files to clean up. A
> common request is the ability to keep the last X number of log files. This
> works well if rollover is only date based but may give undesired results with
> size based rollover.
> Another factor to consider is that the directory containing the log files may
> contain the log files for multiple appenders, or even files unrelated to
> logging.
