Description

Hi i tried to deleted my old log files but I have not been successful.

Here is my xml file.

<Configuration status="error" name="rhl" packages="">
    <Appenders>
        <Console name="STDOUT" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
            <PatternLayout pattern="%m%n"/>
        </Console>
        <RollingFile name="RollingFile" fileName="logs/test.log"
                filePattern="logs/test-%d{dd-MM-yy hh-mm}-%i.log.gz">
            <PatternLayout>
                <Pattern>%d %p %c{1.} [%t] %m%n</Pattern>
            </PatternLayout>
            <Policies>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true"/>
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="50MB"/>
            </Policies>
            <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="5">
                <Delete basePath="logs/" maxDepth="2">
                    <IfFileName glob="*/test-*.log.gz" />
                    <IfLastModified age="7d" />
                </Delete>
            </DefaultRolloverStrategy>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="error">
            <AppenderRef ref="RollingFile" />
            <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT"/>
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

 

and here is the console output;
