There is a log rotation issue with the Log File logger in the audit-trail plugin.

I set the count parameter to 1 and the limit to 512. Yet the log file is still being rotated every time more than two lines are written:

[jenkins ~]$ cat /data/jenkins/audit-trail.xml 
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<hudson.plugins.audit__trail.AuditTrailPlugin plugin="audit-trail@2.1">
  <pattern>.*/(?:configSubmit|doDelete|postBuildResult|cancelQueue|stop|toggleLogKeep|doWipeOutWorkspace|createItem|createView|toggleOffline)</pattern>

    </hudson.plugins.audit__trail.LogFileAuditLogger>

It appears the log rotation count is not working correctly.

Description

Original: There are multiple issues with the Log File logger in the audit-trail plugin.

The first has to do with log file rotation. I set the count parameter to 1 and the limit to 5000000000. Yet the log file is still being rotated every time more than two lines are written:

{code}
[jenkins ~]$ cat /data/jenkins/audit-trail.xml

    </hudson.plugins.audit__trail.LogFileAuditLogger>
  </loggers>
</hudson.plugins.audit__trail.AuditTrailPlugin>

{code}

The next issue has to do with the limit parameter. In the Jenkins console configuration screen, it says says "Log File Size MB" whereas the JavaDoc for FileHandler says the limit parameter is "the maximum number of bytes to write to any one file". As mentioned above, I used a limit of 500000000 assuming it is actually using bytes. However since the rotation isn't working correctly, I have no way of verifying whether or not the plugin does a conversion from MB to bytes.

I should note that I also did try limit values of 512 and 1024, but still am seeing the logs rotate after two lines are written.
