Hello, I'm using log4j 2.14.1. What I'd like to do is to have an appender which lets me have one log file per day, but then delete older logs after N days (e.g. I'd like to have at most 10 logfiles, one per day).
I've tried using the DirectWriteRolloverStrategy, which seems good and creates one log file per day when properly configured, but apparently has no way of deleting older files, so my log directory gets filled with logs; the maxFiles attribute only seems to set ```The maximum number of files to allow in the time period matching the file pattern``` (see https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders.html) - so, it's only useful when there's a size-based policy that rotates logs further. The Delete Action only appears to work with the DefaultRolloverStrategy. My appender configuration: ``` appender.rolling.type = RollingFile appender.rolling.name = ROLLING appender.rolling.filePattern = /var/log/application-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log appender.rolling.layout.type = PatternLayout appender.rolling.layout.pattern = [%d{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss,SSS}{UTC}Z][%p][%C:%L] %m%n appender.rolling.policies.type = Policies appender.rolling.policies.time.type = TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy appender.rolling.strategy.type = DirectWriteRolloverStrategy appender.rolling.strategy.maxFiles = 10 ``` Is there any way to configure the maximum amount (or maximum age) of logs in that directory, (ideally) using properties (but if XML is fine if properties don't work for this use case) ? Thanks, Alan
