I believe what you want to do is this (from the Log4j2 docs):
The following XML fragment defines policies that rollover the log when the
JVM starts, when the log size reaches twenty megabytes, and when the current
date no longer matches the log’s start date.
<Policies>
<OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size=“10 MB" />
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
</Policies>

Subject: RE: Migrating from log4j 1x to 2x
I want to implement log4j so that it creates a new file every day and if in a
day a file grows more than 10 MB then it rolls over same day file into multiple
files.
I used TimeBased and SizeBased trigger policy
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="24" modulate="true"/>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB"/>
interval = 24 hours and size 10MB.
but i am not able to achieve the results.
logs are still written to same file. only thing what it did is it created only
one back up file and whenever new 10MB of logs are written it moved those to
backup file.
I am not seeing multiple files.
I am attaching my log4j2.xml
Could you guys please take a look and let me know what am i doing wrong. what
can i change to satisfy my requirement.

Mangat Rai
