Reporter: Remko Popma
Background: [Stackoverflow
question|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47470988/migrating-from-log4j-1-2-to-log4j2/47483310?noredirect=1#comment81941928_47483310]
on migrating from Log4j 1 to 2.
While following Ralph's advice and updating the example I noticed a few things.
* The Log4j2 manual needs concrete CronTriggeringPolicy concrete examples; cron
expressions are not intuitive.
* Also, with TimeBased triggers, the trigger depends solely on the filePattern.
With cron expressions it is the user's responsibility to sync the filePattern
with the cron frequency (and keep them in sync during maintenance). This needs
to be mentioned explicitly in the Log4j2 manual.
