Hi guys, Something I noticed in my production, the maximum limit of index (i.e., the max #files to be rolled before an overwrite occurs) is 7 by default. This is not mentioned anywhere in any of the documentation. I was only able to confirm this by actually looking into the source code [1]. Unfortunately, by the time we noticed there was huge data loss.
I wanted to confirm: * Why is the default max index set to 7? I was naive to think that the default max index would be set to a large value (may be no max index at all, perhaps) * Why wasn’t this mentioned anywhere in the documentation (if it is, can you point me to it. may be I wasn’t paying attention). If it happened to me, perhaps it might for others. Best, Chandra [1] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/master/log4j-core/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/appender/rolling/DefaultRolloverStrategy.java#L126
