My Kro commented on Bug LOGBACK-747

I have the same problem.

slf4j and logback 1.0.0.13.

logback.xml:

<configuration>
<appender name="ROLLING" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>logs/event.log</file>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<!-- rollover daily -->
<fileNamePattern>logs/event-%d

{yyyyMMdd}

-%i.log</fileNamePattern>
<timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<!-- or whenever the file size reaches the threshold -->
<maxFileSize>20KB</maxFileSize>
</timeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>

<!-- and clean up old files -->
<maxHistory>3</maxHistory>
<cleanHistoryOnStart>true</cleanHistoryOnStart>

</rollingPolicy>
<encoder>
<pattern>%msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>

<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="ROLLING" />
</root>

</configuration>

At no point do the old files get deleted:
