I would say immediateFlush but that doesn't explain why you're not seeing the update until after logging 600 KB when the buffer is only 256 KB...
Have you tried setting system property -DLog4jContextSelector=org.apache.logging.log4j.core.async.AsyncLoggerContextSelector to switch on async loggers? This will ensure the buffer is always flushed to disk, but it uses smart batching to achieve this in an efficient manner (and it happens on the background thread, so no impact on your application).
