[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1754) Multiple log files being
created for rolling log4j2 conf in IBM Websphere
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15783886#comment-15783886 ]

@prayagupd Try setting status="trace" in the configuration. That will show internal Log4j logging, giving details on what is happening during the rollover.
Also, you have described what you are seeing, but I'm not sure what you expect to happen instead.
