What is the logback log cleanup strategy?

Logback is a flexible and high-performance logging framework that offers various log clean-up strategies.

Some common log cleaning strategies include:

1. Time-based log cleaning: log files can be cleaned based on time intervals, such as daily or weekly cleanings.
2. Log cleaning based on file size: You can configure the maximum size of log files, and when the file size exceeds the threshold, log cleaning operation will be triggered.
3. Logs can be cleaned up based on the number of files: you can set a limit on the number of log files to retain, and when the threshold is exceeded, the oldest log files will be deleted.

By setting the appropriate strategy parameters in the logback configuration file, different log cleanup strategies can be implemented. For example, in the logback.xml configuration file, the element can be used to configure log rolling policies, where the and elements can be used to set file size-based log cleanup strategies. Additionally, the element can be used to configure time-based log cleanup strategies.

It is important to note that logback itself does not provide log cleaning functionality, but instead it can be used in conjunction with other tools, such as cron tasks or log rotation tools, to achieve log cleaning operations.
