[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-929) Roll over of log files

["Ralph Goers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-929?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14956269#comment-14956269 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-929:
------------------------------------

Sorry for the extreme delay in updating this. The rollover should happen when somewhere between the first and seventeenth log event is written after midnight. This is because rollover is only inspected when log records are written and only every 16 log events.

I am not sure what you mean by "append the date to the current file". The name you have given to the file is "file" - there is no date pattern. Furthermore, the filename is not interpolated at rollover so the date would only change at a reconfigure or restart.
