Hi Dominik , 'should bring you to your 100MB, doesn't it?' - Unfortunately, no . If I set maximumFileSize=10MB and maxSizeRollBackups=10, I will get 10 files for a <Day> with total size 100MB. During the next day (<Day+1>) I will get another 10 files for the <Day+1> with total size 100MB; the previous 10 files (ones for the <Day>) will NOT be removed when new files (for the <Day+1>) start appearing.
I really tested the Appender in such situation. So, the limit affects EACH SINGLE DAY; but not the whole bunch of .log files in teh given folder Dominik Psenner wrote: > > Hi Kelly, > > Configured like this the total maximum size of all log files should be > around 5MB * 10, which is somewhat like 50MB.
