Hello Ayman, The config file looks good. Does your application run continously or is it stopped and restarted by a cron job? Ayman Hammoudeh wrote:

Hello,

I have a problem with TimeBasedRollingPolicy and that is older files are not deleted when I set the MaxHistory property in the xml,so any suggestions.

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
