Below is an example Logback file that I’m using to achieve a similar function:

```auto

      Maintenance Settings
      entryLimit: The maximum number of entries in the database. However, at any given time, there may be more than this number, due to how cleanup works.
      maxEventsPerMaintenance: The number of event that can happen before a maintenance cycle occurs.
      minTimeBetweenMaintenance: The minimum time (max frequency) between maintenance events. Takes precedent over max events.
      vacuumFrequency: The number of maintenance cycles before a "vacuum" is performed, to recover disk space.

      On disk, most log events are between 600-800 bytes.
    <entryLimit>50000</entryLimit>
    <maxEventsPerMaintenance>5000</maxEventsPerMaintenance>

```

In the example above I’m using rsyslog as a UDP syslog receiver and TCP syslog forwarder (to promtail). It looks like NXLog might be able [to receive UDP syslog directly](https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/syslog.html#accepting-syslog-network)…

EDIT: you can ignore the SysoutAppender config above, I was just using that to debug the format before I got the rsyslog one working.
