@mourya-satyam-888, thanks for providing more context, much appreciated.
I can observe the logrotate behavior you shared:
$ cd /tmp/logrotate-workbench
$ ls -la --time-style=long-iso
total 64
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 2025-10-28 09:23 .
drwxrwxrwt 107 root root 49152 2025-10-28 09:20 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vy vy 1025 2015-10-28 09:16 foo.log
-rw------- 1 root root 104 2025-10-28 09:06 logrotate.conf
$ sudo cat logrotate.conf
/tmp/logrotate-workbench/foo.log {
size 1k
rotate 4
compress
missingok
notifempty
}
$ sudo logrotate --state ./logrotate.state --force ./logrotate.conf
$ ls -la --time-style=long-iso foo*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vy vy 1048 2015-10-28 09:16 foo.log.1.gz
Note that `foo.log` of 2015 is rotated to `foo.log.1.gz` of, again, 2015. I
guess we can implement a similar behavior in Log4j by adapting
`PosixViewAttributeAction`.
@mourya-satyam-888, would you be interested in contributing this feature?
You can either do this in isolation, or we can assist you. Either case, I
strongly advise you to outline your plan before writing any lines of code.
