             Summary: Log4j2 Writing to the rolled file
                 Key: LOG4J2-3611
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3611
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appenders, Configuration, Web/Servlet
    Affects Versions: 2.17.2
            Reporter: Xin Lin


I am migrating log4j 1 to log4j2 in a jboss application. 

I added log4j-api & log4j-core & log4j-1.2-api dependencies, I have added log4j2.xml and setup proper system config, and then application good to start. 

This issue happens when the rolling action triggerred. When the rolled file created, I see that some logs written in the new log file, but some logged in the rolled file. 

I turned on the TRACE mode, and can see some logs show that Log4j2 RollingFileManager execute the FileRenameAction. So we have two files (app.log & app.log.2022-09-27). 

But some log events went to app.log, some went to app.log.2022-09-27. 

According to the log format, I think the new logs in rolled file is written by Log4j2, the log content is like following: 

05:01:23,150 INFO [stdout] (Log4j2-AsyncAppenderEventDispatcher-2-ASYNC) 05:01:23,136 ERROR [xxx.xxx] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
