Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-656:
------------------------------------
[~aadit] this may be possible by using a ScriptCondition for the delete action.
(search for "ScriptCondition Parameters" in the [appenders manual
page|[https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html#CustomDeleteOnRollover].]
The manual says "The Script element that specifies the logic to be executed.
The script is passed a list of paths found under the base path and must return
the paths to delete as a
java.util.List<[PathWithAttributes|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-core/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/appender/rolling/action/PathWithAttributes.html]>."
That looks promising. :) Can you play with that to see if you can return a
directory to delete with this mechanism?
