Multiple log files to single archive

Hi, Could you please tell me whether it's possible to configure logback in such a way that multiple log files are compressed to a single, possibly already existing archive (existing because logback itself has already put some log Giles in this archive). The current use case is that I'd like to have a RollingFileAppender with SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP with fileNamePattern=mylog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.zip and have the log files archived to mylog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.zip. Another use case would be an app that doesn't produce much logs and the loga would be produced to daily files but the archives would be monthly. Thanks, Tom

No that is not supported. Note that there are no java APIs (that I know of) for modifying a zip file. The only way to add a file to an existing zip file is to create a new zip file with the file added and then delete the old zip file. David
