[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-904) RollingFile appender doesn't zip and create new files

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-904?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14235783#comment-14235783 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is not working on Windows!! Settings were changed with the server down. My settings are basically the same as per the doc:
{{fileName = "f:/Log4J/IIB.log" filePattern = "f:/Log4J/$$\{date:yyyy-MM}/IIB-%d\{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log.zip"}}

{code}
<TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval = "1" modulate = "true"/>

            <!--            <DefaultRolloverStrategy fileIndex = "max" max = "7" compressionLevel = "5"/>  -->
            <DefaultRolloverStrategy max = "7"/>
{code}

1. Files are not zipped
2. A new file is not created each day; the old file is just appended to.

Is there some way to escalate this issue?
