Well ... i found the solution :jumping: in GenericConfigurator class in method doConfigure the event chain is build with recorder.recordEvents(inputSource). at this stage the event for setting the file property is recordered AFTER event, that defines RollingPolicy because...the configuration file looks like
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>logfile.%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log.zip</FileNamePattern> <MaxHistory>30</MaxHistory> </rollingPolicy>
< param name="File" value= ...
after looking at event chain sequence i found the solution : it is dump and simple - put < param > before <rollingPolicy> in configuration file and everything works as it should %-| -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/TimeBasedRollingPolicy-tp19756004p23123386.html Sent from the Logback User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
