    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13723469#comment-13723469 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-326:
------------------------------------

I'm not entirely sure an enhancement is required.  Have you tried specifying a Route like below? The leading "$" should get stripped with the configuration is processed leaving a value of "${ctxLfrults}", which won't be replaced because the Route element does not perform variable substitution on the key. Since the result of an undefined variable string is to leave the string alone this should result in a match.
{code}
<Route key="$${ctx:fruits}">
  <RollingFile name="Rolling-default" fileName="logs/default.log"
	filePattern="./logs/${date:yyyy-MM}/default-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz">
    <PatternLayout>
	<pattern>%d{ISO8601} [%t] %p %c{3} %L - %m%n</pattern>
    </PatternLayout>
    <Policies>
      <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="6" modulate="true" />
      <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB" />
    </Policies>
  </RollingFile>
</Route>
{code}
