Assignee:             Logback dev list
Attachments:          image-2021-05-13-10-02-35-819.png
Components:           logback-core
Created:              13/May/21 9:05 AM
Environment:
  <appender name="FILE"

Labels:               SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy rollingFileappender
Priority:             Major
Reporter:             David Goichman
Description:
  The policy will not delete files older than a month, and shows other inconsistent behavior.
  
  e.g. 20210429_agent_0.log will never be deleted. 
  
  !image-2021-05-13-10-02-35-819.png! It will also sometimes not remove any files at all, as you can see from the rest of the logs from May <-> 05.
  
  To reproduce you can use the same policy as in the environment, and just copy and paste the same file as in the format with a date that goes a month or more back, they will not be removed.
