Am using logback.xml to generate logs.Trying to delete the created logfile
greater than 10 ( will have 10 logs files ) and delete oldest file from
server. Creating the log file for every min.



<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${LOGS}/archived/spring-boot-logger.%d{yyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}_%d{HHmmss,aux}.log
</fileNamePattern>
<maxhistory>10</maxhistory>
</rolling policy>

issue : when I have this %d{HHmmss,aux} then maxhistory property doesn't
work (it won't delete old logs)  and keeps generating in the server. When
I  remove  %d{HHmmss}  this command it delete log files as expected.

Here i want nameing pattern like this {YYY-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss} and want to
delete file worth 10mins
