Guido Wimmel commented on LOG4J2-435:
-------------------------------------
As a remark - Logback's TimeBasedRollingPolicy does support deleting old files
based on date pattern ("maxHistory" property), without extra configuration or
an index file. The main difference seems to be that it does not support the
additional %i Token. If this isn't the reason for the additional complexity or
Logback's solution is not acceptable for other reasons, maybe the
implementation in log4j2 could use similar concepts.

> 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.
