What you describe looks very much like the issue reported in LOG4J2-829. This is a bug that was introduced in the 2.0-RC2 release. It was recently fixed in master and the fix will be included in the upcoming 2.1 release. (I hope 2.1 will be released some time next week - but no promises...)

If you are in a hurry, you can check out the code from the Log4j2 GIT repository and build the 2.1-SNAPSHOT locally.

> I am trying to configure RollingFile appender in tomcat 7.0.23 with log4j2(2.0.2) with 10 log files.
> I am using in the filePattern the $\{sys:catalina.base}, it doesn't work and log files are placed in tomcat/bin/$\{sys:catalina.base}/ directory.
> The interesting part is that the first log file (without a number) is created ok, under tomcat/logs - which means it succeeds to map the filename attribute to a real path.
> When I replace $\{sys:catalina.base} with filePattern="C:/apache-tomcat-7.0.23/logs/app.%i.log" it works.
> Meaning that the filePattern is not interpreted properly.
