Is there a MaxAmountOfLogs Property or something like this? #2

I don't want to clean it up regularly, so is there an option to clean up the oldest file, when the maximum number of logs is reached?

Hi Jannik!

There's no such an option built in the library currently and implementing it looks out-of-scope for this project. I don't think cleaning up log files should be a responsibility of a simple log writer component like this.

However, you can easily automate the regular cleanup of your logs by coding a cleanup script of your requirements and scheduling it by whatever scheduler tool your OS provides (Task Scheduler on Windows, cron on Linux, etc.)

Alright, thank you for the clarification.
