FYI I created an RFE for this back in Feburary. There definitely needs to be a way to make this timeout shorter and make SiftingAppender clean up fds more aggressively. http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-244 -----Original Message----- From: logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of ceki Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 10:13 AM To: logback users list Subject: Re: [logback-user] how to remove old log files in this sifting appender configuration On 17.07.2012 15:15, Andreas Kruthoff wrote:

Will you make it configurable in a future release of logback? I could use such a feature.
If there is demand for it, then yes. If you would be interested in such a feature please create a jira issue asking for it. SMTPAppender which shares similarities with SiftingAppender, will discard buffers when an a logging event with the marker "FINALIZE_SESSION" is encountered. See [1, 2]. So it would be quite easy to add functionality to immediately discard and appender upon an event determined by the developer.
