I've been browsing the code, and things aren't quite clear to me. It seems to me that I'd also need to write a custom rolling policy, in order to deal with formatting the file name, no? (If the file is rolling over every 10 minutes, say, then we'd need to modify the file names accordingly.) And that looks like it might require changing FormattingInfo and/or PatternConverter, no? Or can that be left alone?
Is there some sample code anywhere for doing something similar that can be used as an example of the things that need to be changed?
