[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-139?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] James Perkins commented on LOGMGR-139: -------------------------------------- The trick is given the file name {{server.log.20161606}} how do you get {{20161606}} back into a date format? It's possible you could assume the current {{suffix}} would be the date format, but now there's potential to miss purging files. For example say you get 5 days of log files and shutdown the server every Friday and restart it Monday. If you just take {{current_date - 5 days}} then you'd always miss purging Monday and Tuesdays log files. What I meant more by OS tools was using a cron job to delete files older than x days. For example {code} find ${JBOSS_HOME}/standalone/log -name "server.log.*" -mtime +5 | xargs -I {} rm "{}" {code} Given the configuration that should only rotate when the file reaches 1GB in size and keep 1 back up. So you should only ever have {{server.log}} and {{server.log.1}}. If it's got a date pattern suffix then something else is rotating the file. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
