Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3412:
-------------------------------------
[~Dundigala] You can either do as Piotr suggests or you can create a
subdirectory for the rolled over files and change the filePattern to reference
that.
Also, you don't have a delete action configured so the rolled over files will
never be deleted by Log4j. If you add one Log4j can ensure that you do not run
out of disk space.
[~ppkarwasz] What documentation are you thinking needs fixing?
