Multibranch Pipeline job configuration with logrotator using DSL

Question

I'm using jenkins job dsl to configure my multibranch pipeline jobs. Actually my all settings are working except logRotator. My aim is to delete the old builds and keep a particular number of build. I can use

options {

    buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '10'))
  }

in freestyle job for this purpose. The multibranch pipeline job configure section not having discardold build section as an option in UI. Is there any way I can use the logRotator without adding this to my jenkins file.

I've added the following section in my code to implement the buildDiscarder functionality in multibranch pipeline jobs.

 multibranchPipelineJob("job") {
  branchSources {
  branchSource {
    source {
      bitbucket {
        credentialsId("myid")
        repoOwner("iam")
        repository("job")                       
 traits {
          headWildcardFilter {
            includes("branchestoinclude")
            excludes("toexclude")
          }
        }
      }
    }
    strategy {
      defaultBranchPropertyStrategy {
        props {
          buildRetentionBranchProperty {
            buildDiscarder {
              logRotator {
                daysToKeepStr("-1")
                numToKeepStr("8")
                artifactDaysToKeepStr("-1")
                artifactNumToKeepStr("-1")
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

`strategy` doesn't seem to be available - perhaps in newer versions! I get error using this — xbmono, Mar 07 '21 at 23:54
artifactDaysToKeepStr("-1") artifactNumToKeepStr("-1") what does this -1 mean actually — TAMIM HAIDER, Jan 31 '22 at 09:21

In Jenkins job dsl, the multibranchPipelineJob has an option to add the following lines for discarding old builds.

orphanedItemStrategy {
            discardOldItems { numToKeep(10) }
        }

I'm having this section in my code. But orphanedItemStrategy won't give the build Discarder functionality. – SANITH Jul 22 '19 at 07:31
