Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1754:
-------------------------------------
Please set status="trace". That should show when the rollovers occur and
possibly why.

> Actually the application was up and running in production with log4j 1.x, so
> the issue is the previous versions as well.
> My expectation is it should create the logging files sequentially like
> test_logging.log, rolled over to test_logging.log.1, test_logging.log.2 and
> so on. I want it to rollover when it hits the max size only(which is 10MB in
> my case), but I see few log files are not even of size 10M. If you check
> test_logging.log.1 it is of size 10KB, and test_logging.log.6 is of size 7KB.
