Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3412:
-------------------------------------
Your file pattern and file name are essentially the same. This is bound to
cause problems Either it will try to rename the file to itself or it will be
renamed to match the file being used the next day.
I would suggest you add status = DEBUG to the configuration or use
-Dlog4j2.debug=true when starting the application.
