When we need log files to be rolled on a daily basis, we should be using DailyRollingFileAppender instead of RollingFileAppender. You do not need to specify the MaxFileSize limit instead only DatePattern is enough for rolling files based on frequency.

log4j.appender.infoAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.infoAppender.Threshold=INFO

log4j.appender.infoAppender.DatePattern='.' yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm

log4j.appender.infoAppender.File=C:/logs/info.log
