I want to automatically delete my Wildfly logs after a certain period of time (e.g. 3 days). As I am running my application in a container which has no access to crontab, I want to do this via a JBoss Cli. I have already tried the following command, but the option seems not to be supported:

/subsystem=logging/periodic-size-rotating-file-handler=DELETELOG:add(autoflush=true,file={"relative-to"=>"jboss.server.log.dir","path"=>"deletelog.log"},suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd",append=true,rotate-size="10M",max-backup-index=3,level=DEBUG)

Currently, the above only writes an empty file without any data. I have also configured a logger and file handler which is called FILE, but which I cannot remove as it is configured as the ROOT logger.

I want to delete the log files after a certain amount of time in my application log directory with a JBoss-cli. Do you have any idea, how this can be achieved? Thank you in advance!

Can you clarify: "which has no access to crontab"? – Romeo Ninov Aug 16 '23 at 06:11
The periodic-size-rotating-file-handler will not delete files that were rotated with a date suffix. – James R. Perkins Aug 16 '23 at 22:59
@RomeoNinov I basically cannot delete the logs from the filesystem, neither by a cronjob nor manually - therefore, I would need a cli-command – Hannes Oberberger Aug 17 '23 at 04:23
@JamesR.Perkins That is clear to me - but I would like to know how i can configure the periodic-size-rotating-file-handler to actually write a log for my application. So far, this has been the biggest pain point. The second one would be to remove the file handler with the date – Hannes Oberberger Aug 17 '23 at 04:24
You need to assign the handler to a logger. – James R. Perkins Aug 19 '23 at 16:50
