Hi Ceki, thank you for the fast reply. When I remove the file property, the currently active log file is named according to the fileNamePattern, but besides that, appearantly nothing changes. I still have archive files of today with a total size exceeding totalSizeCap. Any other ideas? Or do have to implement a custom rollingPolicy?
