Syslog rotation using log4cplus appender MaxFileSize and MaxBackupIndex

I have below config, which seems to have no effect on the rotation of the syslog:

log4cplus.appender.syslog=log4cplus::SysLogAppender log4cplus.appender.syslog.MaxFileSize=200KB

log4cplus.appender.syslog.MaxBackupIndex=5 log4cplus.appender.syslog.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout log4cplus.appender.syslog.layout.ConversionPattern=[%T] %-5p %b %x - %m%n

I would like to be able to manage syslog size and number of the backups. What would be correct way of doing this using Log4Cplus?

SysLogAppender appender is sending to OS syslog. It has no control over the rotation. That is for you to set up using your syslog implementation configuration.
