> daysToKeep - integer (default 0) - if this value is greater than zero, then files older than that many ***days*** will be deleted during log rolling.
when the pattern is not `.yyyy-MM-dd`, the daysToKeep not work as doc says.
for example. when pattern is `.yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm`, the daysToKeep is not control the old log Rolling by days, just keep the logs backups not more than daysToKeep.
```
