You probably meant : <rollingPolicy> instead of <rollingPolisy>

<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">

<MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>

</rollingPolicy>

Or if desired max history only for the archive configuration:

<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">

<TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">

<MaxFileSize>${sizeThreshold}</MaxFileSize>

<MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>

</TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>

</rollingPolicy>

That the way I understood the documentation

Hello,

I want to know how can I use max history  in Size and time based archiving  and where exactly to put the<MaxHistory> tag in the xml , I have tried to put it in the <RollingPolisy> tag but its not working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
