> I am using log4j2 and a rolling file appender, to roll file based on size and time. See my attached config file config file and the following snippet:
> {code:xml}
>  <RollingFile name="RollingFile" filename="log/$${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log" filePattern="log/%d{dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/Roll-%i.log">
>             <PatternLayout>
>                 <Pattern>%d{ISO8601}{GMT} %p %c{1.c} [%t] %m%n</Pattern>
>             </PatternLayout>
>             <Policies>
>                 <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1"/>
>                 <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="3KB"/>
>             </Policies>
>         </RollingFile>
> {code}
> My problem is that my current log (currentRoll.log) file is in the folder that was first created when the program started. I would need it to be in the last. So for example if I start running the program at 1pm on November 25th, 2014 , and at 3pm I want to look at the current logs they would not be in the 25-11-2014-15 folder but in the 25-11-2014-13 folder.
> My guess is that the date in the filename is not resolved dynamically. I have tried using monitorInterval to poll for auto reconfiguration but did not have any luck. I also tried using a '$$' in   
> {code:xml}
> filename="log/$${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log" .
> {code}
>  but got the following error:
> {code}
> ERROR Unable to create file log/${date:dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm}/currentRoll.log java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
> {code}
> Any suggestion?
