I dont know if there is already a simple a way to use Logback directly/indirectly (without e.g implementing such a handler), but in terms of log rotation I see from etc/logging.properties that the config shows handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler is the default handler used, and having a quick google and peek at the source tree at https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logmanager/blob/2.1.10.Final/src/main/java/org/jboss/logmanager/handlers/PeriodicRotatingFileHandler.java#L130 suggests that it picks the smallest element (year, month, week, etc) from the supplied suffix as its rotation period. While there I spotted there looks to be an extended version of the handler for doing size-based rolling too that also incorporates a 'max backups' ability https://github.com/jboss-logging/jboss-logmanager/blob/2.1.10.Final/src/main/java/org/jboss/logmanager/handlers/PeriodicSizeRotatingFileHandler.java#L207, which may be of interest to you...though I guess you might also need to e.g set a large file size to make it more likely only the period influences the rollover.
