[logback-user] urgent explination issue

[Ayman Hammoudeh]

What I want  to roll back filed based on time and to delete older files and there archives if they are older than 2 days for example,.and iam using the latest version which is 0.9.17!!


Here is my xml configuration  again :):

<configuration>
  <appender name="ROLLING" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
   <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
   <FileNamePattern>mylog-%d.%i.log</FileNamePattern>
   <TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
   <MaxFileSize>5MB</MaxFileSize>
      <MaxHistory>2</MaxHistory>
   </TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
<MaxHistory>2</MaxHistory>
   </rollingPolicy>
   <layout>
   <Pattern>%msg%n</Pattern>
    </layout>
   </appender>
   <root level="debug">
   <appender-ref ref="ROLLING" />
   </root>
   </configuration>

That is exactly my point: You set up the maxhistory for the current file

It is what you intend or do you want that option only for the archives?
If only for the archive, you should then relocate your option into the <TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy> node. Same level as <MaxFileSize> node.

Otherwise, if only for the current log file, see which version you have, I remember that a bug issue has been known on log file history not being deleted.

This is the way I'am doing it but  its not working .

Here is my xml configuration :

<configuration>
  <appender name="ROLLING" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
   <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
   <FileNamePattern>mylog-%d.%i.log</FileNamePattern>
   <TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
   <MaxFileSize>5MB</MaxFileSize>
   </TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
<MaxHistory>1</MaxHistory>
   </rollingPolicy>
   <layout>
   <Pattern>%msg%n</Pattern>
    </layout>
   </appender>
   <root level="debug">
   <appender-ref ref="ROLLING" />
   </root>
   </configuration>


Has any one tried it and worked!!?

You probably meant : <rollingPolicy> instead of <rollingPolisy>

<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
      <MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>
 </rollingPolicy>

Or if desired max history only for the archive configuration:

<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<MaxFileSize>${sizeThreshold}</MaxFileSize>
<MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>
</TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
</rollingPolicy>

That the way I understood the documentation

Hello,

I want to know how can I use max history  in Size and time based archiving<http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP>  and where exactly to put the<MaxHistory> tag in the xml , I have tried to put it in the <RollingPolisy> tag but its not working.

Any help would be appreciated.
