Description

When configured to save one file per day, the log file from a previous date is rolled on start up, but, during the end of the program execution, an exception happens, and the previous file gets deleted.

This is the configuration used:

<RollingFile name="DailyFile" fileName="C:/temp/logs/app.log" filePattern="C:/temp/logs/app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz" immediateFlush="true">
	<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.SSS} (%thread-%T) %-5level %logger{10}: %msg %throwable{50}%n" />
	<Policies>
		<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy  />
		<OnStartupTriggeringPolicy />
	</Policies>
	<DefaultRolloverStrategy>
		<Delete basePath="C:/temp/logs" maxDepth="1">
			<IfFileName glob="*/app-*.log.gz" />
			<IfLastModified age="30d" />
		</Delete>
	</DefaultRolloverStrategy>
</RollingFile>

These are the error messages
