Hello, I have a problem with TimeBasedRollingPolicy and that is older files are not deleted when I set the MaxHistory property for example to '2' but files roll over normally every day , so any suggestions. So my question is why files older that 2 days from the current date are not deleted. Here is my XML file: <configuration> <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <FileNamePattern>RollTimeTest.%d.log</FileNamePattern> <!-- keep #days worth of history --> <MaxHistory>2</MaxHistory> </rollingPolicy> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <Pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS}[%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</Pattern> </layout> </appender> <root level="debug"> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root> </configuration> Regards, Ayman Hammoudeh
