Perform hourly logrotate on JBoss EAP 7 access log - jboss

Question

By default, JBoss EAP 7 rotates its access log daily.
I needed to set this to like, HOURLY.
Reason:
We have a script that automatically downloads the rotated access log file.
But doing this ^ would greatly increase CPU usage (because the access log at the end of the day is VERY large, and our system's performance is unfortunately reduced while downloading it)
What I know is that, in the standalone.xml, I've tried adding the one below to make the JBoss server log to rotate every hour.
<suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd-HH"/>
But this method does not apply to access log (because its settings is weirdly placed in a different part of the standalone.xml)
I've tried experimenting with the access-log tags to have any of the following. But it just throws an error.
<access-log suffix=".yyyy-MM-dd-HH" ...
<access-log rotate="hourly" ...
...and i can't seem to find a VERY detailed guide about standalone.xml of JBoss EAP 7. I'm thinking that I should use a tag value for the access-log part.
Please help. Does anyone know of a way to do this? :(

Thanks and best regards.

Try following
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:3.0">
...(snip)...
<!-- size-based log rotation -->
<size-rotating-file-handler name="access-log" autoflush="true">
<formatter>
<named-formatter name="access-log-formatter"/>
</formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="access.log"/>
<rotate-size value="10m"/>
<max-backup-index value="10"/>
<append value="true"/>
</size-rotating-file-handler>
<! -- or custom interval (hourly) log rotation
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="access-log-custom" autoflush="true">
<formatter>
<named-formatter name="access-log-formatter"/>
</formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="access.log"/>
