Hello Neil,
It might be useful to know that if you don't specify the <file> property for
RollingFileAppender, then the DateBasedRollingPolicy (but not
FixedWindowRollingPolicy) will set the name of the active log file as computed
by the value of <FileNamePattern> *and* the current date.
Coming back your question, there is no way to vary the file name as specified by
the <file> property. There is already issue LBCORE-68 related to the same
topic. You are welcome to vote on it.
Your second question about the timezone for the %d converter, please enter a
jira issue, as if my memory serves me correctly, there is no way to set the
timezone for this parameter.

Here's my appender snippet.

<MinIndex>1</MinIndex>
<MaxIndex>5</MaxIndex>

<MaxFileSize>10MB</MaxFileSize>

<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern> { %d{yyyyMMdd HHmmss.SSS} %msg \} %n</Pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
I'd like to be able to start with a file name pattern for my initial
file. Is there a way to do this? So instead of
msa-mdn.log I'd like to have msa-mdn-0-20090203-042416.log or whatever
the current time is as my initial file name.
Also, I'd like to %d{yyyyMMdd-HHmmss} to have my date formatted in GMT
time not local. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Neil
