Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-380:
------------------------------------
This is because the variable ${date:} gets the current date, so ${date:yyyy-MM}
is being resolved in September instead of August because that is when the
rollover is occurring. Since the Lookup has no relationship with the
RollingFileAppender it really has no way of knowing the file date is for the
prior month.
We will have to find some way to cause the filePattern to be able to pass the
%d date to the Lookup.
