Rolling logback logs on filesize and time

Question

Answer 1

Since logback 1.1.7 (released March 2016) a new appender called SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy is available that dramatically simplifies what you need to do:

    app.log
    
        app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log
        10MB    
        30
        1GB
    
    
        %msg%n
