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

             Summary: Cleaning old log files created by Sifting appender child
                 Key: LOGBACK-1432
                 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1432
             Project: logback
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: I have SiftingAppender which creates logs per each job run. I need to automatically clean log files which are 2 weeks old. I tried to use RollingAppender, but it does not work since each log file name has unique job run id. This is what I have tired so far:
{code:java}
<configuration>
  <!-- To see the errors generated by SiftingAppender-->
  <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />

  <appender name="JOB_LOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">

    <!-- This is MDC value -->
    <!-- We will assign a value to 'jobRunId' via Java code -->
    <discriminator>
      <key>jobRunId</key>
      <defaultValue>null</defaultValue>
    </discriminator>

    <!-- This is filter to deny log events which mdc value for 'jobRunId' equals 'null'.  -->
    <filter class="ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter">
      <evaluator
          class="ch.qos.logback.classic.boolex.JaninoEventEvaluator">
        <expression>
          mdc.get("jobRunId") == null
        </expression>
      </evaluator>
      <OnMismatch>NEUTRAL</OnMismatch>
      <OnMatch>DENY</OnMatch>
    </filter>

    <sift>

      <appender name="FILE-${jobRunId}" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <file>logs/jobs/${jobRunId}.log</file>
        <encoder>
          <pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%level] [%logger{60}] - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>

        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
          <!-- Set to minutes for testing purposes. TODO: change to daily rollover. -->
          <fileNamePattern>logs/jobs/%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss}.${jobRunId}.log</fileNamePattern>
          <!--  Set to 5 seconds for testing purposes. TODO: change to 14 days. -->
          <maxHistory>5</maxHistory>
          <cleanHistoryOnStart>true</cleanHistoryOnStart>
        </rollingPolicy>

      </appender>

    </sift>

  </appender>

  <root level="TRACE">
    <appender-ref ref="JOB_LOG"/>
  </root>
</configuration>
{code}
 
Console log suggests that files have been archived. But clean on start does not delete them  I would assume since each appender name is dynamic in my case:
