James Perkins commented on LOGMGR-139:
--------------------------------------
This is a rather complicated problem to solve. Since the suffix can be set to nearly any
supported by {{java.text.SimpleDateFormat}} it makes it very difficult to parse file names
to determine which files would be available for purging. There are some things that could
be done to make some assumptions about file names, but having a log manager make
assumptions about files on a file system seems wrong. You wouldn't want your log
manage to delete files it shouldn't be deleting because it made an assumption about a
file name.
One option besides a custom handler is to use tools on the OS, like a cron job on Linux,
to purge older files.
As far as not getting your custom handler to work I'm guessing you mean on WildFly or
JBoss EAP. What seems to be the issue there?
Add maxBackupIndex to periodic-rotating-file-handlers

Key: LOGMGR-139
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-139
Project: JBoss Log Manager
Issue Type: Enhancement
Reporter: Rémy Garrigue
Priority: Minor
That's all in the title.
We would like to have a daily log, keeping 15 days of log. Actually there's no way to
do that except maybe custom handler which we can't get to work. That'ld be far
easier if there was the same maxBackupIndex option as in size rotating handler.
