Benjamin Jaton commented on LOG4J2-435:
---------------------------------------
As far as I understand your implementation, you delegate the task of finding
the previously rotated log files to the user by asking for a regexp.
Ideally the rollover strategy would just figure it out by itself but I'm afraid
that's too complicated, so a more realistic/simple way is to rely on the user
to provide a way to find those files, either through a regexp (like you did) or
allowing us to use a separate file.
> Support limiting number of log files based on date pattern

> 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.
