Hello,

I have nxlog installed on a server where we collect multiple logging streams, nxlog writes those logs to a flat file that is tailed and sent out to our other solutions. This system was not built for log retention so I need nxlog to clear these log files every hour or potentially based on file size. I setup the xm_fileop module on them and defined each log file path and setup the rotation as pasted below, however the logs grow and are not being cleared. Please take a look and let me know where I may have gone wrong. Thank you.
