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. _____ De : logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] De la part de Ayman Hammoudeh Envoyé : jeudi 1 octobre 2009 15:31 À : logback users list Objet : Re: [logback-user] urgent explination issue This is the way Iam doing it but its not working .
