title: Spring boot - number of backup log files restricted to 7
body: <p>In our <strong>spring-boot</strong> project we are using <strong>slf4j</strong> for logging purpose. Below are configuration which we have added in <strong>application.properties</strong> file</p>
  
  <pre><code>logging.file=/opt/logs/my_log.log
  logging.level.org.springframework.web=INFO
  logging.level.org.hibernate=INFO
  logging.level.nl.yestelecom.boss=DEBUG
  logging.level.com.github.isrsal.logging.LoggingFilter=DEBUG
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It <strong>generates only 7 backup files</strong> (my_log.log.1, my_log.log.2 ..., my_log.log.7) with each file of size <strong>10.5MB</strong> and after that logging is not happening at all. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to change this behavior? </p>
  
  <p>We looked into available properties of spring-boot but, didn't find anything. Any suggestion is appreciated.</p>
