[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-435) Support limiting number of log
files based on date pattern
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14630359#comment-14630359 ]
Benjamin Jaton commented on LOG4J2-435:
---------------------------------------
Since the pain is in finding the previously rotated files, what about an implementation that would maintain an index file or registry file of those rotated log files?
There would be a new parameter to define the path of that file. The logic would then be pretty simple.
It's not ideal but this is such a critical feature that I'm sure the users can use an imperfect solution to address the need.

> DefaultRolloverStrategy max attribute only applies if you have a %i in the file pattern. This request is to enhance DefaultRolloverStrategy or another appropriate component to allow a max number of files limit to apply across days/months/years when a filePattern includes a date pattern.
