Hi Mahendar

out of the box this seems not to be possible, there is a KB article on that, describing to improve the situation

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-rotate-the-tomcat-catalina-log-file-on-windows-852592789.html

but

there is a tool named logrotatewin that offers a windows implementation of logrotate

All the best
