Rolling logback logs on filesize and time

Question

I\'ve been trying to set up a simple logback project to roll my log files by date and by filesize, and so far I have been unable to get my appender to roll over to another f

Answer 1

Although this is an old question, I felt that a working answer is appropriate to help anyone who requires this kind of implementation.

I use the following logback configuration to provide an HTML log, rolled over by date and filesize, as well as logging to console for debugging output.

Logfiles are stored in a logs directory with a name of logFile.html while its active, and logFile.2013-mm-dd.i.html when it rolls over, where i is the number of 50MB log files. For instance logFile.2013-01-07.0.html.
