Pruning logs - how to get maxBackupIndex to work?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Elasticsearch isn't pruning the logs, so I found this input to add to
logging.yml.
However, this isn't working for me.

Is there any other workarounds- configs for this file that will work?

file:
type: dailyRollingFile
file: ${path.logs}/${cluster.name}.log
datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd"
#I added the following line in order to delete logs every 7 days
maxBackupIndex: 7
layout:
type: pattern
conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n"

Cheers

Something like this should work. The dailyRollingFile appender does not
support maxBackupIndex.

appender:
.....
file:
type: rollingFile
file: ${path.logs}/${cluster.name}.log
maxFileSize: 10000000
maxBackupIndex: 10
layout:
type: pattern
conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n"
