Hi Neha, The maxHistory denotes the number of history files that are maintained. So if you want a cap of the index to be say 10, configure the maxHistory to 10 like shown below, which results in the max index of the history files will be 10. In your case it will be test.log.2011-04-06.10 Thanks, Kalyan From: logback-user-bounces@qos.ch [mailto:logback-user-bounces@qos.ch] On Behalf Of Neha Kothari Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 9:27 AM To: logback users list Subject: Re: [logback-user] Logback configuration The max history is for setting the limit on the file size. I want to set a cap on the index i appended.

I am using "TimeBasedRollingPolicy" rolling policy as I wanted dated logs. My file pattern looks like c:/spg-live.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log Is there a way that I can put a maxIndex (i.e the maximum limit for i) using the same rolling policy?
