It would be nice if for the PeriodicRotatingFileHandler you could configure a maximum amount of rotated files or (/ and) a maximum period for rotated files, so that files that exceed this limit are automatically deleted, similar to the maxBackupIndex of the size-based rotating handlers.

After this was added, it would of course also be nice to be able to configure this from WildFly configuration.

Currently, you have to either use a size-based rotating or have some external facility that cleans up old log files.
