我具有以下配置，但无法找到有关如何设置日期滚动样式的最大备份文件的任何文档。我知道我们可以通过使用maxSizeRollBackups使用尺寸滚动样式来做到这一点。

<appender name="AppLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <file value="mylog.log" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <lockingModel type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender+MinimalLock" />
    <rollingStyle value="Date" />
    <datePattern value=".yyMMdd.'log'" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <conversionPattern value="%d %-5p %c - %m%n"  />
    </layout>
</appender>

解决方案

不确定我们到底需要什么。以下是我的lo4net.config文件之一的摘录：

<appender name="RollingFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <param name="File" value="App_Data\log"/>
    <param name="DatePattern" value=".yyyy-MM-dd-tt&quot;.log&quot;"/>
    <param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>
    <param name="RollingStyle" value="Date"/>
    <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="false"/>
    <param name="maxSizeRollBackups" value="60" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
      <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%r %d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n"/>
    </layout>
  </appender>

你不能

从
log4net SDK参考
RollingFileAppender类

CAUTION
  
  A maximum number of backup files when rolling on date/time boundaries is not supported.

几个月前，我花了一些时间研究这个问题。 v1.2.10不支持根据日期滚动删除较旧的日志文件。它在下一个版本的任务列表中。我获取了源代码，并自己添加了功能，如果有兴趣，可以将其发布给其他人。可以在https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-27上找到该问题和补丁。

即使它不受支持，这也是我处理这种情况的方法：

这是我的配置：

<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
        <file value="C:\logs\LoggingTest\logfile.txt" />
        <appendToFile value="true" />
        <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
        <datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
        <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
        <maximumFileSize value="1MB" />
        <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
            <conversionPattern value="%date  - %message%newline" />
        </layout>
    </appender>

在应用程序启动时，我这样做：

XmlConfigurator.Configure();
 var date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-10);
 var task = new LogFileCleanupTask();
 task.CleanUp(date);

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using log4net;
using log4net.Appender;
using log4net.Config;

    public class LogFileCleanupTask
    {
        #region - Constructor -
        public LogFileCleanupTask()
        {
        }
        #endregion

        #region - Methods -
        /// <summary>
        /// Cleans up. Auto configures the cleanup based on the log4net configuration
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="date">Anything prior will not be kept.</param>
        public void CleanUp(DateTime date)
        {
            string directory = string.Empty;
            string filePrefix = string.Empty;

            var repo = LogManager.GetAllRepositories().FirstOrDefault(); ;
            if (repo == null)
                throw new NotSupportedException("Log4Net has not been configured yet.");

            var app = repo.GetAppenders().Where(x => x.GetType() == typeof(RollingFileAppender)).FirstOrDefault();
            if (app != null)
            {
                var appender = app as RollingFileAppender;

                directory = Path.GetDirectoryName(appender.File);
                filePrefix = Path.GetFileName(appender.File);

                CleanUp(directory, filePrefix, date);
            }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Cleans up.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="logDirectory">The log directory.</param>

        /// <param name="date">Anything prior will not be kept.</param>
        public void CleanUp(string logDirectory, string logPrefix, DateTime date)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(logDirectory))
                throw new ArgumentException("logDirectory is missing");

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(logPrefix))
                throw new ArgumentException("logPrefix is missing");

            var dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(logDirectory);
            if (!dirInfo.Exists)
                return;

            var fileInfos = dirInfo.GetFiles("{0}*.*".Sub(logPrefix));
            if (fileInfos.Length == 0)
                return;

            foreach (var info in fileInfos)
            {
                if (info.CreationTime < date)
                {
                    info.Delete();
                }
            }

        }
        #endregion
    }

Sub方法是一种扩展方法，它基本上像这样包装string.format：

/// <summary>
/// Extension helper methods for strings
/// </summary>
[DebuggerStepThrough, DebuggerNonUserCode]
public static class StringExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Formats a string using the <paramref name="format"/> and <paramref name="args"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="format">The format.</param>
    /// <param name="args">The args.</param>
    /// <returns>A string with the format placeholders replaced by the args.</returns>
    public static string Sub(this string format, params object[] args)
    {
        return string.Format(format, args);
    }
}
