Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-656:
------------------------------------
Every one here is a volunteer. We all have day jobs that frequently prioritize
what we can work on, which may be completely unrelated to log4j. If you need a
feature or fix quickly the best way to accomplish that is by providing a patch.
That said, the easiest way to delete files loser than six months would be to
write a corn job that looks at the directory and does that cleanup by
inspecting the file dates.
At the moment Log4j does not have the ability to do what you are asking.
However, there has been discussion on the mailing lists on how it could be
enhanced to do this. This issue should be used to track the implementation of
that enhancement.

> My application is using Rolling file appender. So the log files are daily
> rolled over to the folder having name yyyy-MM. ie 2014-03, 2014-04, 2014-05
> etc. Now the requirement is to delete 6 months older folder from the path.
> Is there any configuration to achieve this?
> The current configuration is as below.
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <configuration>
> <properties>
> <property name="logPattern">%c|%K{sessionId}|%t|%d{MM/dd/yyyy
> HH:mm:ss.SSS}|%p|%C|%M|%L|%K{msg}%n</property>
> <property
