----------------------------------

             Summary: Changes to the "filePattern" property of <RollingFile> is 
not picked up during refresh
                 Key: LOG4J2-1201
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1201
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Linux
            Reporter: Jason Hong
            Priority: Minor


I'm not sure if this is intentional but it seems like the "filePattern" 
property of  <RollingFile> is not picked up during the refresh interval unless 
"fileName" is modified.

To reproduce:

1.  In log4j2.xml, change the "filePattern" property to a new filename and 
change the rollover policy (eg sized based policy to 1KB) to a setting that 
will trigger easily.

2.  Wait until the "refreshInterval" passes

3.  Generate logs until the rollover policy is triggered and an archive file is 
written.

Expected Result:
The archive file should be the modified filename.

Actual Result:
The archive file is still using the old filename.

Once the "fileName" parameter is modified, both "fileName" and "fileParameter" 
are refreshed.
