Currently I have RollingLogFileAppender configured to hold a max of 20 files
PER HOUR as follows:
<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="c:\logs\MyService.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="20" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<datePattern value="yyyyMMdd-HH" />
....
</appender>
This configuration keeps last 20 files FOR EACH HOUR and hence the number of
files add up indefinitely over time.
Is there a way to configure a absolute max number of total files (without
regards to the rolling intervals)? I am looking to setup log4net to basically
keep a max of last X number of files at any given point in time in the year or
years.
Regards
Pranav
