-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCORE-147
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-147
             Project: logback-core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Rolling
    Affects Versions: 0.9.18

            Assignee: Logback dev list


The MaxHistory does not do the trick : the old files are not deleted at all :
cat logging.xml
 <appender name="IDP_ACCESS" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <File>/shibboleth-idp/logs/idp-access.log</File>
            <Append>false</Append>
	<ImmediateFlush>true</ImmediateFlush>

       <RollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <FileNamePattern>/shibboleth-idp/logs/old/idp-access-%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log.gz</FileNamePattern>
	    <MaxHistory>3</MaxHistory>
        </RollingPolicy>

        <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
            <Pattern>%msg%n</Pattern>
        </layout>
    </appender>
