HI all I'm using the DailyRollingFileAppender to great effect and my logs are being rolled automagically every day :-). I'm now at the point where I have a large number of rolled logs. Is there anyway to set a limit on the number of logs that are kept (with the oldest being automatically deleted?). I've looked through the javadoc and can see no way of doing this. I know that RollingFileAppender has a MaxBackupIndex property but DailyRollingFile Appender extends FileAppender and not RollingFileAppender.
Am I missing something or is it not (yet) possible? Secondly, is there anyway of producing compressed versions of the rolled log files?
